Belgium: Cross of Honor for Military Service
Abroad (Foreign Service Cross) 1st Class.
The medal was instituted in 1997 in 3 classes.
This is the highest class.
The 1st Class of the Cross was awarded for 15
years of service abroad.
However, depending of the region where the
services were performed, one year of actual
service may count for more than one year for
the purpose of awarding the Cross of Honor.
Consequently, 1 year of service in Congo,
Rwanda or Burundi counts as 5 years, 1 year
of service at the borderline between the former
West and East Germany counts for 3 years
while 1 year of service in the mainland of the
former West Germany counts for 2 years.
