DECORATIONS : GREECE - THE BAVARIAN VOLUNTEERS

The form of this cross is exactly the same as that of the Bavarian Auxiliary Corps, but the metal is bronze, while the inscription and edge are embossed bright upon dull ground. The inscription, on the obverse, is the same as on the previous cross, while the reverse contains (in Greek) : "To the Auxiliary Volunteers of Bavaria".


The ribbon is equally bright blue, but with small white borders.
