This medal of honor was donated by King Maximilian Joseph I on December 4, 1814 for all soldiers who belonged to the deployed army in the years 1813, 1814 and 1815 or were just included and counted towards the number of armed forces but did not fight. The Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Fürst Wrede, was the only soldier to receive a gold-plated neck cross. Everyone else from the general to the soldier received this cross. Shortly after the initial award, physicians who were in the field were also included to receive them. Veterinarians were excluded from this. The cross did not have to be returned and was also awarded posthumously. In addition, all the flags of those regiments and battalions of the mobile legions and the 3rd class National Guard, which did not belong to the deployed army but were ready to defend the fatherland's border, received the military memorial.
