Miniature Medal.

Instituted on 31st December 1914 for award to Warrant Officers and Officers below the rank of Major in the Army and RFC, it was extended to officers of the RAF for acts of gallantry on the ground and during World War One there was provision made for officers of the Royal Naval Division and Royal Marines.

Bars are authorised for additional acts which would have resulted in the award of the cross. Four men received the cross with THREE bars and 170 with two bars during the period 1914-1920. A bar is distinguished by a rosette being worn on the ribbon when ribbons alone are worn.

A total of around 11,000 crosses were awarded from 1937 to 1946.
