Cross of the Deported 1914-1918

The Cross of the Deported 1914-1918 is a Belgian medal which was awarded to all Belgians who were deported to Germany as defaulters and were subjected to forced labour during the First World War. It was established on 27 November 1922 and was awarded approximately 55,000 times. Deportees who should have entered military service because of their age were excluded from the award.
