France WWI War Cross 1914 1916 with 1 Citation Gold Star

FRANCE: War Cross 1914 - 1916 with gold 
(gilt) star on the ribbon.
Each gold (gilt) star represents a citation at 
the Corps level - this citation is rarely seen.
The medal was awarded to military personnel 
who demonstrated exceptional performance 
before the enemy.
The number 1916 stands for the year of issue!
The 1916 crosses are considered, by some, 
the rarest among  the War Crosses that 
France issued in WW1 and are definitely rarer 
than the 1918 and 1917 respective ones.
A medal for exceptional gallantry.
