Victoria Cross Recipents

The Victoria Cross (VC) is the highest military honour awarded for valour in the face of the enemy, recognizing extraordinary acts of bravery by soldiers. Recipients of the VC, including notable figures from the Indian and Canadian forces, demonstrated exceptional courage and selflessness during combat, often at great personal risk. Their heroic actions not only exemplify the spirit of gallantry but also serve as enduring symbols of honour and sacrifice in military history.
