Establishment and criteria
Establishment and criteria
The Mobilisation War Cross was established on 11 August 1948 by royal decree of Queen Wilhelmina. Those eligible for the award include military personnel who served for at least six months between 6 April 1939 – 20 May 1940. However, the Cross can also be awarded to non-military personnel or people who did not serve a full six months, as long as the subject performed military tasks for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. On 1 December 1992, the original royal decree was rescinded and replaced.

Hij is 101 jaar oud en kreeg gisteren het Mobilisatie-Oorlogskruis opgespeld. Marten Mobach woont nog altijd op zichzelf en kreeg daarom thuis bezoek van minister Ank Bijleveld. De onderscheiding is bestemd voor militairen en oud-militairen die ten minste 6 maanden in dienst waren na 6 april 1939 en voor 20 mei 1940.
