It was to be awarded to people who volunteered for duty in the years 1918 to 1921 and helped to strengthen the independence of the Polish Republic.

Because of the German invasion of Poland in 1939 and the outbreak of World War II no decorations were awarded at the time.

After the fall of communism a very similar decoration, Krzyż za udział w Wojnie 1918-1921, was introduced.

The cross and accompanying medal are intended to be worn on a 37 mm wide ribbon, characterized by a red hue with two slender white vertical stripes.
