The Memorial Cross ((フランス語:Croix du Souvenir)), often known as the ''Silver Cross'', is a Canadian medal awarded to the mother, widow, widower, or next of kin of any member of the Canadian Forces who loses his or her life in active service, including peacekeeping, and other such international operations. ==Design== The Memorial Cross is in the form of a silver cross patonce with at the top of the vertical arm a St. Edward's Crown, symbolizing the Canadian monarch's role as the fount of honour, and at the end of the other arms a maple leaf. At the centre, within a laurel wreath, is the reigning monarch's Royal Cypher. This medallion is worn on the left chest, on a wide ribbon coloured solid, light purple,〔 which is attached to the cross by a silver ring.〔 However, since January 1945, the Memorial Cross has been presented with a straight silver brooch bar in place of the purple ribbon.
