The Croix de Guerre may either be bestowed as a unit award or to individuals who distinguish themselves by acts of heroism involving combat with enemy forces.
The medal is also awarded to those who have been “mentioned in despatches”, meaning a heroic deed was performed meriting a citation from an individual’s headquarters unit.
