Instituted on 28th December 1915, the Military Cross (MC) fulfilled the need for an officer's gallantry award lesser than the VC or the DSO, and was originally awarded to captains, lieutenants and warrant officers of the Army, including the Royal Flying Corps. The eligibility was later extended to equivalent ranks of the Royal Naval Division, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force when performing acts of gallantry on land. In 1931 a warrant extended the award to those of the rank of major.
This award was originally for gallant and distinguished Conduct not necessarily in the face of the enemy. The regulations were changed during the First World War to make the awards purely for gallantry. It is now open to all ranks.
A silver cross with straight arms ending in broad finials decorated with imperial crowns. The Royal cipher is placed at the centre, and the whole medal is suspended from a 38mm wide purple ribbon by a plain silver suspender.
The reverse is plain, although since 1938 the date of the award appears on the lower reverse, and it has been said that any awards personally presented by the Monarch are officially named thereon. Private engraving of the reverse is fairly common.
Bars to denote subsequent awards are sometimes seen, being also in silver and having the crown at the centre. Of the 37,081 MCs awarded for the Great War, 2992 received one bar, 176 two, and 4 three.
Since 1993, when the Military Medal was discontinued, this award has been available to both officers and other ranks.
The rank show in the tables below is that which was held at the time the Order was awarded.
First World War (1914-1920)
During the Great War 288 men of the Worcestershire Regiment were awarded the Military Cross and 36 bars were awarded.
