Greece WWI Cross for Military Valor 1st Class

Greece: Cross of Military Valor 1st Class, for 
Officers. 
Silver, gilt and enameled. 
Only 13.068 1st Class Crosses were ever 
awarded (9585 1st Class Crosses were 
awarded during the period 1913 - 1922, like 
this example)
The Order was instituted in 1913 right after 
the end of the Balkan Wars in 3 Classes. 
It was awarded for Military Valor during the 
Balkan Wars, WW1 and during the Disastrous 
Campaign in Asia Minor (1922). 
It was discontinued in 1923 and it was 
re-instituted in 1940 with the addition of the 
"1940" clasp on the ribbon.
The medal depicts St. Georgios (George) 
slaying the Dragon and on the reverse side 
writes "ΑΞΙΑ = Valor". 
It is the highest military merit award of 
Greece (it is still in use without the crown) and 
it ranks as an Order.
