French Croix De Guerre Medal - WWII

French Croix De Guerre Medal - WWII

Criteria:

The French Croix de Guerre (Cross of War) is a French Military award commonly bestowed upon foreign military forces. Created in 1915 it can either be awarded as a unit award or as an individual award for distinguished service for acts of heroism during combat with the enemy. In the United States military it is one of the hardest awards to verify. This is because foreign awards were not typically entered onto personal records following World War II and was further made difficult by the 1973 fire at the National Archives.

French Croix De Guerre Medal

"It was a replacement Medal for my oldest brother who passed away in 2012. He served during WWII and his unit was awarded the Croix de Guerre Medal. It was lost in his moving around the Country. I made a Memorial Display case for him and checked his record and found out about the Medal, so placed the order and you folks sent it to me."

Q&A

What’s the significance of the star on the French Croix De Guerrero ribbon?
There is, here's a little more info: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Croix-de-Guerre
My husbands grandfather received this award, but it states on his WD53-55 form that he also received 1 Vermillion Star with it, which I can't seem to find.
Unfortunately, that star that goes with the medal was likely only made in France and is not a device that is made here state-side. I would guess that it is no longer in production anywhere and would likely need to be purchased from a re-seller.
