When Sam attends the function wearing his medals, Claire says she is surprised to see him wearing a Military Cross. However, Sam is not wearing any cross-shaped medals, only disc-shaped ones. His medals are (from Sam's right to left) the Korea Medal, the United Nation Service Medal (Korea) and the General Service Medal with a clasp for Malaya. Note that the Military Cross was awarded to officers for acts of gallantry, enlisted men and NCOs were awarded the Military Medal.
