The Iron Cross, established by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia, holds immense symbolic value as a military decoration. It was awarded not only during the Napoleonic Wars but also throughout subsequent conflicts such as the Franco-German War and both World Wars.

In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the Kaiser himself presenting these courageous men with their well-deserved accolades.
