- THE FIRE CROSS
(also called the Frontline Fighters Cross)
Instituted on 24 November 1941 in three categories :
with swords and a laurel
wreath around the central medallion for three months' front line duty as a
combatant,
without swords but with laurel
wreath for six months' service at the front in any capacity,
without swords or laurel
wreath for six months' military service at home.
and for posthumous awards
a black ribbon is used instead of the normal one.
The central medallion is inscribed "A HAZAERT"
in three lines and on the lower arm is either 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944 or 1942-43 which reflects
the year the award was made. The reverse is plain but for the year of the foundation :
1941.
