What country this Red Cross medal is?

Hi Tom,

Yes, considering all her work for the red cross it would make sense if it was hers initials.
Just like the Charlotte cross, it has the initials W and C for Wilhelm II of Württemberg and his second wife queen Charlotte.

So unless someone has a better idea im gonna assume it is:

W= Wilhelm R= Rex
A= Augusta V= Victoria

Yes, it´s. I had not seen this prusian Red Cross medal in a medal bar before, and as some of the words in the text didn´t look written in german ("Fuer", "Rothe") I was wondering if maybe from other country with a language very similar to the german.

This is perfectly German medal and language. "Rothe" is probably an ancient form and "Fuer" is another possibility in German to write word "Für" (for). Although not rare, a really nice bar!

I'm such an idiot, german Wikipedia had the answer the whole time.
But atleast we were right.

In den Kreuzwinkeln von links nach rechts die Buchstaben W R (Wilhelm Rex) oben und A V (Auguste Viktoria) unten.
(In the cross-angles from left to right, the letters WR (William Rex) above and AV (Auguste Victoria) below.)
