History


The War Cross (1940) was established on November 11, 1940. It was awarded for acts of bravery in the Second World War and the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949.

There are numerous versions of the I Class Cross due to a wide variety of manufacturers. The surmounting crown may be solid or openwork and may have a fixed or movable suspension, and the cross may be struck in copper rather than bronze. Other versions may differ in size or engraving.
