勋章与嘉奖

历史
1915年10月25日,正值第一次世界大战激战期间,King Albert I 创立了比利时 Croix de guerre。当时,比利时军队正坚守在国土的一小块区域,躲在洪水淹没的田地之后。领导人需要一枚特别的勋章来嘉奖他们在战壕中的英勇表现。这枚勋章为部队提供了一种即时的战场荣誉,非常类似于著名的法国勋章。
这枚勋章在第二次世界大战期间由流亡的比利时政府于1940年重新启用。1954年,为了能在未来的冲突(包括朝鲜战争)中颁发,该勋章被再次设立。这枚勋章可以授予个人士兵、抵抗组织成员,甚至是整个部队。
随着时间的推移,缎带上会附加小型的青铜或银色狮子以及青铜棕榈叶,以显示他们在军队公文中被提及。它至今仍是比利时最广为人知的战斗勋章之一。
