German Awards - Prussian Cross of Remembrance of the 1914-1918 War for Fighters

This cross was established by the Association of Prussian war veterans in the German Union of Warriors 1914-1918. e. V., for front-line soldiers of the First World War. This cross was awarded with and without swords. For especially honored members of the Society, the 1st Class Cross of Honor was established. Since the Weimar Republic did not have orders and commemorative awards reminiscent of the World War, numerous military and soldier associations established their own awards. Such crosses were instituted by the various warrior unions of the Weimar Republic for their members in their respective colours and arms. Crosses were issued by clubs, but, as a rule, were paid by themselves.
