second day of the ill-fated Russian offensive in Belorussia in March 1916 (the
operation had been timed to relieve German pressure on Verdun. After some minor
initial gains, failed miserably due to inadequate planning). The Cross is in very
fine to excellent condition, has beautifully preserved details and shows
attractive patina.
