The medal is suspended from a yellow and red ribbon that shows a Palm leaf. The Gallantry Cross was awarded in four levels/grades beginning in 1950 – Palm, Gold Star, Silver Star, and Bronze Star being the highest grade, the Gallantry Cross was awarded to military individuals, corps, divisions, regiments, and brigades for deeds of valor or displaying heroic conduct during battle.
