Solo un chiarimento: "bar" viene aggiunto a una Military Cross per ulteriori atti che meriterebbero una Military Cross:
The Military Cross (MC) was awarded to commissioned officers of the rank of Captain or below and warrant officers for distinguished and meritorious service in battle. For additional acts of bravery, a straight silver bar was awarded.

The Military Cross (MC) is the third level military decoration awarded to officers and (since 1993) other ranks of the British Army and formerly also to officers of other Commonwealth countries.
[...]
Bars are awarded to the MC in recognition of the performance of further acts of gallantry meriting the award. Recipients are entitled to the postnominal letters MC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Cross
The British Military Cross was instituted on 28 December 1914 as a means of formally recognising the courage of junior officers during wartime (officially for "gallantry in the field" for Captains and below).
In this way the Military Cross complemented the Military Medal which was awarded to servicemen below officer rank.
Also available was an additional award of a Bar to the Military Cross to recognise further acts of gallantry. Such silver bars were worn above the ribbon.
