Military Cross 2nd class

The ribbon bar of the Military Cross Second Class is a discreet insignia worn on civilian attire, typically on the lapel of a jacket or suit. It serves as a simple and representative substitute for the full-size decoration, making it especially suitable for daily wear or formal occasions.

The ribbon bar consists of a piece of moiré ribbon in the official colours of the Military Cross: green with red stripes at the edges. The ribbon is mounted on a metal base that slides through the buttonhole of the garment. A portion of the metal base is folded back on the reverse side, securing the ribbon firmly in place and preventing it from shifting.

It provides an elegant and practical way to display the decoration while respecting tradition and decorum.
