In the British and Commonwealth armies during WW1 it stood for 'Military Cross' an award created in 1914 for 'exemplary gallantry in the face of the enemy' for commissioned officers between the ranks Warrant Officer and Captain. (in 1931 it was increased include Majors)

In 1993 all honors in the UK military were reviewed and restructured so as to remove rank from consideration and today the Military Cross is awarded to all Royal Army ranks.

In the Royal Navy it is the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) and in the RAF it is the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC).

These are the 3rd level of awards for conspicuous bravery in combat after the Victoria Cross (VC) and Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC).
