Ranging from fine to better than very fine.
Footnote: The War Cross was instituted on November 11, 1940 and awarded for heroic deeds on the battlefield to officers, non-commissioned officers and men of all armed forces, along with flags of distinguished regiments during the Second World War. A small crown, either gilt, silvered or bronze, according to the class of the medal, was added to the ribbon for each subsequent award. Until 1942, the first award could be in any of the three classes, after that, the enforced law dictated that the first award and the subsequent ones (to the same person) were always of III Class. In the case of additional awards, up to three, the War Cross was upgraded to the next higher class.
