Belgium WW1 Maritime Decoration Cross I Class Gold Anchors WWI 1914 1918 Belgian Naval Medal Navy Great War

Belgium: WW1 Maritime Decoration, Gold (Gilt) Cross, I Class,  with 
Crossed Anchors.  
With the Royal Cypher of King Albert.
The medal 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 it is very rare especially in the
senior grades.
