“11th Armata” cross
Hello everyone,
today I wanted to show you an Italian Army award, that I like a lot for his understated aesthetic but martial at the same time, it is the Cross of XI Army; this medal coined as a result of a private initiative was granted to all Veterans of the Campaign Greek-Albanian, particularly painful for the Italian Army because of the heavy losses in human life suffered during the war operations but also because of the terrible winter of 1940-41 .
Originally born with a smaller red ribbon (1.8 mm) but the replacement was fairly widespread with a larger tape; it is complete of its mignon version for civilian clothes.
I also add a distinctive concerning the same war campaign coined by the new Albanian Government and distributed to Italian Veterans.
