Awards of Germany - Memorial Cross Veren Battalion

The cross is an unofficial commemorative sign for former members of the German army until the end of World War I. It was commissioned by many carriers to show their affiliation with a particular section of troops. There are 4 different commemorative crosses: - Faithful to the regiment -, - Faithful to the battalion - and - Faithful to the fleet -. Distribution was done through Paul Küst of Berlin, which also produced the corresponding unit clamps.
On different tapes, in the colors of the regiment or military unit, a horizontal clasp with the designation of the regiment was worn.

Gilded, embossed cross made of non-ferrous metal. Centered on the front and back is a round medallion. Through the middle are crossed 2 swords. Crosses at the ends with a triangular convex in the middle. The cruciform arms are surrounded by a raised corrugated border. The inner surfaces of the cruciform shoulders are fine-grained.
