In excellent vintage condition.(Not stamped sterling but polishes up similarly).Historical Notes:Renowned American architect Bertram Goodhue was the designer of The Church War Cross.First issued during World War I, the Church War Cross medal was designed under the direction of Edith Weir Perry, wife of Bishop James De Wolf Perry, who was the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church from 1930 to 1937. The medal was made available to every Episcopalian who entered the Armed Forces.
The design is anchored by the ancient Crusader’s Cross, which is composed of five crosses symbolizing the five wounds of Christ. It is engraved “Christ Died for Thee,” a quotation from the Service of Holy Communion found within the Book of Common Prayer. (After WWII the wording was updated to read \"Christ Died For You\".)
The Cross continues to serve as a distinct mark of an Episcopalian in the United States Military.
