Luxembourg Croix de Guerre Streamer
The Luxembourg Croix de Guerre Streamer represents a distinguished foreign military decoration awarded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to qualifying United States Army organizations for exceptional service and valor during World War II.
The Luxembourg Croix de Guerre, or Luxembourg Cross of War, recognizes distinguished military service associated with the liberation and defense of Luxembourg during World War II.
U.S. Army organizations that participated in the liberation of Luxembourg and subsequent combat operations against German forces may have received this prestigious foreign unit decoration as part of their officially recognized military heritage.
Streamer Design
The Luxembourg Croix de Guerre Streamer features a distinctive:
Blue field with Yellow edges and three Yellow center stripes.
The authorized inscription is embroidered in White.
For U.S. Army organizations awarded the Luxembourg Croix de Guerre, the commonly authorized inscription is:
LUXEMBOURG
The exact inscription should correspond to the decoration recorded in the organization's official U.S. Army Lineage and Honors.
World War II Service
American forces entered Luxembourg in September 1944 during the Allied advance across Western Europe.
Luxembourg subsequently became an important area of operations during the Ardennes-Alsace Campaign and Battle of the Bulge, when German forces launched their major winter counteroffensive through Luxembourg and Belgium.
U.S. Army organizations recognized with the Luxembourg Croix de Guerre distinguished themselves through their service during operations associated with the liberation and defense of Luxembourg.
The award became a permanent part of the military heritage of qualifying Army organizations and represents the gratitude and recognition of the Luxembourg government for their World War II service.
Authorized Inscription
LUXEMBOURG
U.S. Army Lineage and Honors records document numerous qualifying organizations as:
Luxembourg Croix de Guerre, Streamer embroidered LUXEMBOURG
Because foreign unit awards are based on the individual organization's official decorations, authorization should always be verified against the unit's current Lineage and Honors documentation.
