Footnote: The War Memorial Cross 1992-1995 was an award of the Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna.

The War Memorial Cross was awarded to all ranks of the armed forces of the Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna, which included the establishment of the first "professional" military units (especially the motorized Guard Brigade "Ante Bruno Bušić") during the Bosnian war, for those that had rendered outstanding service. A ceremony to individuals was possible if the award criteria had been fulfilled. A total of 1,500 of the crosses were manufactured in Italy, 104 of which were awarded.
