Description: | image: With their backs towards the viewer, two young Frenchwomen, one standing to the left by a slender tree and holding
a rose in her upraised right hand, the other seated, her right arm half raised in a gently beckoning gesture. Towards them advance a line
of French cavalrymen of which two, to the right of the composition, hold fronds of laurel in their upraised left hands. Behind these two
figures the outline of the Croix de Guerre shimmers as would the rising sun. text: The Croix de Guerre was instituted on the 8 April 1915.
It is the reward for bravery. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Animals 01/3(4-15) civilian personnel Military Personnel FR.A commemorative | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Lutetia, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
