	Croix de guerre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the Croix de guerre is issued as several different medals, and as a unit decoration, situations typically arose where an individual was awarded the decoration several times, for different actions, and from different sources.
		Sir William Birdwood was awarded 1st de Guerre on the 22 February 1916 by the French Presdient, 2nd by HM the King of Belgium on the 11th March 1918.
		Alvin C. York was awarded the Croix de Guerre with Palme en bronze for his valor in the Battle of Meuse River-Argonne Forest near the town of Verdun, France during World War I.

	Croix de Guerre
		A new Croix de Guerre was created on 26 September 1939 similar to the 1914-1918 type but with a different ribbon (the colours of the Great War ribbon inverted) and the "1939" date on the reverse.
		As with the 1st World War type this cross was meant to show the recipient's bravery and individual citations are designated by stars or palms on the ribbon.
		It was usually worn from the 1914-1918 War Cross ribbon, or sometimes from the WW2 War Cross ribbon and was disallowed by General de Gaulle and his provisional French government in London in 1944.

		I also have a copy of "Militaria" Magazine, with an apparently good article on rarer Croix de Guerre variations, but need a literal translation as this is the French Language edition and it doesn't translate smoothly with a pocket dictionary.
		A while back I received another image of a medal exactly as mine from a serious collector of French Medals and Orders in the Netherlands, and he of course believes his to be good as well.
		There may also be a photo in Vol 2 of a genuine Croix; I don't have the book in front of me at the moment.
