The Cross for Courage and Fidelity (Dutch: Kruis voor Moed en Trouw) is a military award that was established by Queen Emma of the Netherlands by Royal Decree on 7 March 1898.
The cross replaced the old Medal for Courage and Fidelity, which had limited prestige and status according to the Netherlands government.
The cross was awarded to (and is still worn by) natives of the Netherlands East Indies that showed exceptional display of bravery and fidelity.
On the cross of the Military William Order a gold spark rod is shown in the middle.
The text on the cross has the description "VOOR MOED EN TROUW" (English: for Courage and Fidelity) and at the back "Daden van Moed en Trouw in Nederlands-Indië door inlanders betoond" (English: Deeds of Courage and Fidelity in the Netherlands East Indies by natives awarded).
