Belgium WWI Maritime Decoration Silver Medal 2nd Class with Crossed Anchors

Belgium: WW1 Maritime Decoration with Crossed 
Anchors 2nd Class (Silver). 
With the Royal Cypher of King Albert.
The award was established in 1918, in 5 classes. 
It was awarded to seamen aboard Belgian Ships 
for distinguished outstanding wartime service, at 
seas. 
At the outbreak of WWI, Belgium had practically 
no navy. The country assembled a small force of 
Destroyers just in 1917. 
The Belgian naval personnel served onboard 
French minesweepers and provided the gunners 
for Belgian merchant ships. 
Given the above facts the award was issued in 
very limited numbers and the medal is very rare.
