Belgium \u2013 Croix de guerre<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"The Croix de guerre<\/em> or Oorlogskruis<\/em> , both literally translating as “Cross of War”, is a military decoration of the Kingdom of Belgium established by royal decree on 25 October 1915. It was primarily awarded for bravery or other military virtue on the battlefield. The award was reestablished on 20 July 1940 by the Belgian government in exile for recognition of bravery and military virtue during World War II. The post-1940 decoration could also be awarded to units that were cited. The decoration was again reestablished by royal decree on 3 April 1954 for award during future conflicts.<\/p>\n<\/div>
