The blue enamel cross with loop for ribbon suspension has on the face a spruce branches between the lateral and upper arms of the cross.

The reverse is plain with maker’s mark "VELJEKSET SUNDQVIST", Finnish for "Sunqvist Brothers of Helsinki".

The ribbon may be decorated with a clasp reading, "1917-1918".
