Belgium WW1 Yser Cross 1914 by Vloors Boxed by Galere

Belgium: WW1 Commemorative Cross for the 
1914 battle of Yser, where the Belgian Army 
managed to stop the German advance, losing 
in the effort the 1/3 of its total strength.
Signed by Emile Vloors.
In its box of issue by Galere in Brussels.
The Yser Cross was instituted in 1934 to replace 
the Yser medal, that had been initially awarded 
to the participants of the battle. 
However, since it had to be purchased by the 
recipients (and partially because 20 years had 
been passed already since the battle) only a 
few veterans actually decided to buy it. 
Consequently this is a rare medal.
