Press X to get medal (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iron cross

'medal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'press x' is the wordplay.
'press' becomes 'iron' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
'x' becomes 'cross' (I've seen this before).
'iron'+'cross'='IRON CROSS'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for iron cross that I've seen before include "German war medal" , "foreign decoration" , "German top military decoration" , "German military medal" , "German wartime medal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
