Британская медаль за доблесть
From March 1915, foreign officers of equivalent rank in allied navies could receive honorary awards; in August 1916, bars were introduced to reward further acts of gallantry meriting the Cross, with a silver rosette worn on the ribbon when worn alone, to denote the award of each bar. In April 1940, equivalent ranks in the Royal Air Force serving with the Fleet could receive the DSC, and, from November 1942, so could those in the Army aboard defensively equipped merchant ships. The DSC had also been awarded by Commonwealth countries; however, by the 1990s, most of these—including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—were establishing their own honours systems and no longer recommended British honours. Recipients are entitled to the post nominal "DSC". and since 1984 it has been awarded named to the recipient. The ribbon has three equal stripes of dark blue, white, and dark blue.

A number of honorary awards were made to members of allied foreign forces, including 151 for World War I, and 228 (with 12 first bars and 2 second bars) for World War II. Eight honorary awards were made in 1955 to members of the US Navy for service in Korea. It was replaced in 1993 by the Medal of Military Valour. 182 were awarded to Australians, in addition to 13 first bars and three second bars. Last awarded to an Australian in 1972, it was replaced in 1991 by the Medal for Gallantry.
С марта 1915 года иностранные офицеры союзных флотов, имеющие эквивалентные звания, могли получать почетные награды; в августе 1916 года были введены планки для награждения за дальнейшие проявления доблести, заслуживающие Креста, с серебряной розеткой на ленте, которую носили отдельно для обозначения каждой планки. В апреле 1940 года офицеры Королевских ВВС, служившие при флоте, могли получать DSC, а с ноября 1942 года – и военнослужащие Армии на борту торговых судов, оснащенных средствами обороны. DSC также вручалась странами Содружества; однако к 1990-м годам большинство из них, включая Канаду, Австралию и Новую Зеландию, учредили собственные системы наград и перестали рекомендовать британские награды. Получатели имеют право на пост-номинальное обозначение "DSC", и с 1984 года награда вручается с указанием имени лауреата. Лента состоит из трех равных полос темно-синего, белого и темно-синего цветов.

Четыре раза получатель
Только один человек был награжден Крестом за выдающиеся заслуги четыре раза. Норман Эйр Морли служил в Королевском военно-морском резерве во время Первой и Второй мировых войн. Он впервые получил DSC в 1919 году, второй – в 1944 году, и еще дважды – в 1945 году. Он был занесен в Книгу рекордов Гиннеса как наиболее награжденный офицер военно-морского резерва.
Коллективная награда
В 1919 году городу Дюнкерк была присуждена медаль «Крест за выдающиеся заслуги» за мужественное поведение его жителей во время Первой мировой войны, и этот крест изображен на гербе города.
