The Kindred Nations War Cross 1918-1922 (Heimosotaristi) is a Finnish medal established in 1922 to reward Finnish volunteer participants in the campaigns in Estonia, Eastern Karelia, Aunus and Ingria (Kindred Nations) against Soviet Russia in the years from 1918 to 1922.
The number of volunteers involved in the nine campaigns was small, making the cross rare. These were campaigns by the Finnish volunteers in the War of Independence in Estonia and during various campaigns in Karelia and other border areas in Russia.
The medal is struck in bronze and measures 39.8 mm x 40 mm. A sword device on the ribbon was awarded for participation in one campaign.
