The honorary cross of the Baden Union of Soldiers of the 2nd class, like a cross-pin, was awarded for special merits in uniting soldiers. 2nd class was probably created somewhat later than 1st class.
The Baden Military Union was founded in 1873. Patronage was assumed by the then Grand Duke Frederick I. Since 1919, it was called the Baden Union of Warriors.
The challenge was to cultivate love and loyalty to the fatherland and maintain a newfound sense of unity through the founding of an empire. Members supported each other and helped the families of their fallen comrades. The deceased members were given the last team, and at local celebrations and celebrations, the clubs were involved in the holding. In public life, clubs were also considered an integral part. Frets periodically (annually) held warrior days. For multi-year membership, followers were later created with the corresponding number. Later, the Union of Baden Military Unions joined the Kiefhauser Union, which unites the organization of land military unions throughout the empire. Like many other land associations, the Baden Confederation retained a certain independence. At the time of joining the Kaifhauser Union, the Baden Union of Military Unions totaled 1386 associations with 131,473 members. Honorary crosses are very rare. The manufacturer was B. H. Mayer of Pforzheim. In addition to honorary awards for long-term membership, crosses were also awarded to especially honored members.
