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 Iron 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."
