The Fallen Soldier Battle Cross, Battlefield Cross or Battle Cross is a symbolic replacement of a cross, or marker appropriate to an individual service-member’s religion, on the battlefield or at the base camp for a soldier who has been killed. The practice started during or prior to the American Civil War, as a means of identifying the bodies on the battleground before removal. Today, it is a means of showing respect for the dead amongst the still living members of the troop.
This special forces version features a M4A1 rifle, helmet and leather combat boots. Custom bronze plaques can be affixed to the bronze base at an additional cost. Special Forces Era Fallen Soldier Battle Cross plaque shown is $750.00.
Today’s special forces are military units that perform covert operations, such as counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and reconnaissance. They are trained to work in a variety of environments and climates, and may be deployed anywhere in the world. In addition to their combat training, special forces members often have specialized training in swimming, diving, parachuting, survival, emergency medicine, and foreign languages.
