Was there a cross for the 1913 campaign?

In I. G. Duca's memoirs i found a reference to a "Avantul Tarii" cross for the 1913 campaign, cased, awarded to the ministers. It is possible that he means the round medal with the same name, although in the rest of his memoirs he uses the term "medal" and not "cross" when reffering to round medals.

Anybody heard about such a cross? And was there a case for the normal medal?

In this case I think that Mr. Duca makes a confusion between the the"Danube crossing"cross and the "Avantul Tarii" medal. The "Danube crossing" cross was awarded also after the 1913 campain with the bar "Traditie" to the military personnel whose parents(grandparents) have served during the 1877 campain.
Also there was awarded the "Barbatie si credinta"medal wih the "campania 1913"bar.
The medals in this period could have been awarded in simple cardboard boxes with King Carol 's cypher.

Hi all,

To b737:

Tell please, was this "Danube Cross 1877" awarded after the 1913 campain with the bar "Traditie" exactly to the military personnel whose parents have served during the 1877 campain or to people whose parents were killed then.

...served and killed(if they have recived post mortem the medal)!

To b737:

I see, thanks a lot for your replay.

Anybody knows how many Danube Crosses were given in 1913?
