France WWI Cross for Civic Services 1914 1918 by Bouvier

FRANCE: France: WW1 Cross for Civic Services.
This rare French medal was established in 1937 
by La Reconnaissance Nationale Française 
(LNRF) to honor exceptional acts of devotion 
and humanitarian aid during World War I. 
Awarded to both civilians and military personnel
—French and foreign—who helped the wounded, 
supported refugees, or assisted their families.

The cross is signed by noted engraver P. Bouvier, 
with the reverse inscribed "DEVOIR" (Duty) and 
"DEVOUEMENT" (Dedication). 
Fewer than 600 crosses were awarded before 
1939, making it one of the scarcest WW1 French 
commemorative medals. 
The LNRF ceased operations with the outbreak 
of WWII, further enhancing the rarity and 
collectability of this decoration.

A must-have for collectors of French military 
medals, WW1 humanitarian awards, or rare 
European pre-WW2 decorations.
