"""This is a replica of the German Honor Cross - 1914/1918 - in German - Das Ehrenkreuz des Weltkriegs, sometimes referred to as the Hindenburg Cross. It was established on 13 July 1934, to commemorate German soldiers of WWI.
This grade of the medal is for combatants, with swords. It was known as the Frontkämpferkreuz. This medal had to be applied for by veterans. Some, like my maternal grandfather wanted to forget the war and did not order it. My dad's father applied for it and I still have the medal and the certificate.
My replica is very true to the original. Like the original, it is a one-sided medal with the maker’s mark (in this case W. K.) on the back. It comes with a six-inch length of 30 mm width post war ribbon"""
