History


The Cross of the Bavarian Auxiliary Corps was created on November 22, 1833. It was awarded to 3582 members of the Bavarian Auxiliary Corps who escorted King Otho I from his native Bavaria to Greece in that same year.

The Bronze Cross features an obverse inscription that translates to "Othon King of the Hellenes," and a reverse inscription that translates to "To the Royal Bavarian Auxiliary Corps."

See also the Cross of the Bavarian Volunteer Corps, (GRC124) in the Medals & Decorations of Greece for the cross that was awarded to the Bavarian Volunteer Corps.
