Product Information
Specification
BELGIUM: WW1 Lapel -  buttonhole Badge of 
the Cross of Fire. 
This is the large type of the badge, signed by 
M. Waucquez. 
Dimensions: 20mm x 20mm
The Badge of the Cross of Fire was instituted 
in Apr. 1933 (one year before the institution of 
the Cross of Fire, 1934).
It was awarded to the still living, at the time, 
military personnel, holders of the "Fire Card" - 
a certificate issued to those who were actually 
engaged with the enemy and had been 
exposed to enemy fire during the Great War.
The Badge depicts a battle scene and on the 
reverse is inscribed "Salus Patriae Suprema 
Lex, 1914 1918" (The Defense of the Country 
is the Supreme Law).
Just like the Cross of Fire later on, the 
recipient had to purchase and pay for the 
Badge himself.
The Badge is rare.
