Belgium WW2 Military Cross for the Army of the Rhine, Belgian Occupation Forces of Germany, Boxed by Fonson

BELGIUM: Original Belgian Military Cross awarded 
to members of the Army of the Rhine, Belgian 
Occupation Forces of Germany. 
Post-1945 issue, presented in its original box by
Fonson with the name of the recipient written on
the reverse.
Following the end of WW2, Germany was divided 
by the Allied Forces, into several occupational 
zones (4 Major zones and 3 Minor zones). 
The Belgian zone was formed as a corridor from 
the Belgian-German border to the edge of the 
Soviet zone, and it included the important town 
of Cologne. 
The Belgian Army of occupation, the Belgian 
Forces in Germany (FBA-BSD), was formed by 
soldiers of the former Free Belgian forces, it was 
commanded initially by General Jean-Baptiste 
Piron and remained under British command 
until 1946 - acting autonomously ever since.
A finely preserved military decoration 
recognizing service in the immediate postwar 
period—ideal for collectors of Belgian or 
European medals.
