The Military Cross awarded across all ranks of the RN, RM, Army, and RAF in recognition of exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy on land.
Instituted on 31st December 1914, the Military Cross was originally awarded to Warrant Officers and Officers below the rank of Major in the Army and RFC. Later, it was extended to officers of the RAF and there were provisions for officers of the Royal Naval Division and Royal Marines during World War One. Since 1937, the year of award has been engraved on the cross. Recipients' details have been engraved across the centre since 1983. Bars can be added for additional acts of gallantry, with some men receiving the cross with multiple bars. The MC is now also available to other ranks, replacing the discontinued MM, as per the 1993 review.
