The War Merit Cross 1st Class was established by HRM King August Charles II in 2004. The medal is awarded to recognize a Gotzer's meritorious service to the Crown and Kingdom as a member of the Royal Army or the Royal Navy.
A special subclass, in which the ribbon is affixed with a frontline clasp, recognizes particular service, generally that associated with holding a command. In some cases, the War Merit Cross 1st Class is awarded as a result of the recipient's actions during a specific military campaign.
The related War Merit Cross 2nd Class recognizes less-significant meritorious service or actions.
