The Elisabeth Commemorative Cross
The Elisabeth Commemorative Cross, also known as the Elisabeth Commemorative Medal (Romanian: Crucea Comemorativă Elisabeta, Medalia Comemorativă Elisabeta), was a Romanian decoration awarded to women for their services in caring for the wounded and sick during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878.
History and Insignia
The decoration was established in 1877 by Prince Carol I of Romania, later King, and named after his wife, Princess Elisabeth. In 1877–1878, Romania sided with Russia in the war against Turkey. Turkey was defeated, and the Congress of Berlin, convened after the fighting in 1878, secured full independence for Romania. Three years later, Carol I proclaimed himself King of Romania.
The decoration had a single class. Its badge was a gold double heraldic cross, with an intertwined, crowned “E” monogram in the central medallion on the obverse.
The reverse bore the dates 1877/78 in its medallion, surrounded by the inscription “ALINARE SI MANGAERE”. Variants exist with white-enamelled medallions on both the obverse and reverse.
The decoration was worn on a blue ribbon bow with gold borders along both edges, on the left breast below the collarbone.
It is not known how long the decoration continued to be awarded.
