This medal was instituted on 28 December 1915, for award
to commissioned officers of the substantive rank of Captain or
below (including acting and temporary Majors) or Warrant
Officers for distinguished and meritorious services in battle.
In 1920, the terms were altered to clearly state the award was
for gallant and distinguished services in action.
The Military Cross
was replaced in 1972 when the Canadian Honours System was
introduced, replacing many of the former British Empire/British
Commonwealth awards currently in use by the Canadian Government
and Department of National Defence. The medals awarded under
the Canadian Honours system are no longer associated with any
particular group of ranks and all service personnel are entitled
equally to all the major bravery awards.
The following
awards were made to members of the Tenth Battalion, CEF, and The
Calgary Highlanders. Posthumous awards are highlighted in grey.
