German Awards - Bavarian Red Cross Land Union Commemorative Signs

The memorial sign was established on June 30, 1924 by the Main Council of the Bavarian Red Cross Land Union. The decision was made on August 15, 1923. Members of the union who earned during the past war in the care of the wounded and charity were awarded. Merits in field and stage service, as well as merits in the homeland were noted. Medals for military merit have black and silver side stripes on a light blue ribbon, for home merit - only silver side stripes. Hollow manufactured medals and massive medals are known. Mass production is made by the manufacturer Hemmerle in Munich.
