Hi All: Re British Medals, the Military Cross (MC) & Military Medal (MM), it appears from the Canadian Veterans website that the MM was for Warrant Officers, NCOs and Men, while the MC was for officers up to the substantive rank of Captain only (but including Acting/Temporary Major), and Warrant Officers (were they eligible for either MC or MM?). The Air Force & Navy also had different medals for different ranks: [Air] Distinguished Flying Cross & Distinguished Flying Medal [Navy] Distinguished Service Cross (originally the Conspicuous Service Cross for Warrant Officers and Lieutenants only) and the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal This is historic, but does it apply to WWII as well as WWI? The Canadian Veterans website (the rules would be similar for all Commonwealth countries): http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm?source=collections/cmdp/mainmenu/ group01 Yours, John Wilson > > M.C. & BAR Military Cross awarded twice > > M.C.
