Belgian Decoration Militaire

A google translation:

The idea of giving a mark of distinction to sousofficiers and soldiers of 26 December 1830. The Commissioner-General of the War of the Provisional Government introduced the application of seniority rafters for the military subordinates. A proposal for a military decoration in 1841 appears on the proposed Royal Decree made by General Buzen, Minister of War.
On the proposal of General Prisse, Minister of War, a Royal Decree in Paris on 18 December 1846, repeals the final military decorations from 1841.
After the failure of the military decorations from 1841, it takes 27 years to see a new proposal for the introduction of such a distinction. On 22 December 1873, King Leopold II sanctioned by a Royal Decree the final creation of a Military Decoration for non-commissioned officers and soldiers of a lower rank and recognizes their good and loyal service, and recognizes their outstanding service, or acts of courage or dedication.
