The Church War Cross was designed under the direction ofMrs. James DeWolf Perry, wife of the late Bishop of Rhode Island, during WorldWar I for the Army and Navy Commission of the Church. Each Episcopalianentering the Armed Forces was presented with one and the same cross was usedduring World War II.

The wording on the back of the cross was changed afterWorld War II and now reads EPISCOPAL CHURCH SERVICE CROSS. This cross is adistinct mark of an Episcopalian in the Armed Forces and may be worn attachedto the identification tags.
