The Order was the highest decoration awarded in times of war.

Those who were given the Order of Bravery were given a monthly gift for 100-250 gold francs.

The provision did not affect the right to receive the pension obtained by other laws.

The ribbon of the medal was black with four thin red stripes.

In exceptional cases, with the proposal of the Gendarmerie General Command, the medal could be awarded to other members of the armed forces and civilians who have rendered meritorious service in helping the Gendarmerie.
