The Memorial Cross was first instituted in 1919 for presentation to mothers and widows of Canadian soldiers or sailors of the First World War who died on active duty or whose death was consequently attributed to such duty. The crosses could be worn by the recipients at any time, even though they were not themselves veterans. The cross was engraved with the name and service number of the son or husband. Its description is as follows:

"The Cross is a Cross patonce in silver .... at the end of the upright a crown; at the foot, and at the end of either arm, a maple leaf; in the centre, within a wreath of laurel, the royal cypher of the reigning monarch."
