It is unknown exactly when Cross Country was invented. This is because man himself have been racing against each other sense the caveman era. It was deemed to be "manly" to be the faster man in the tribe. Over time, the races became more sophisticated and organized, to the point of where it is at today.
The ankh roughly meant 'eternal life'; the closest thing to it today, both in shape and meaning, would be the Celtic cross and to a lesser extent the Christian cross (although this does not share the original meaning).
The Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) is awarded for aerial heroism. The act "must involve voluntary action in the face of danger and be well above the actions performed by others engaged in similar flight operations".
Answer There are several British Regimental Cap Badges that are shaped like a Maltese Cross over the years. This shape was common for Rifle regiments and I have three types in my collection: King's Royal Rifle Corps. The Sherwood Forestes had a Maltese Cross with a reclining deer in the center(no wreath). In the current British Army, this badge would be worn by the Royal Green Jackets. Its badge is a Maltese Cross within a Wreath.
