The Victoria Cross was the highest commonwealth medal for bravery in the face of the enemy. Their citations provide records of courage which cover the entire war and give an insight into the conditions prevailing at the time.We read of the two British Lions rugby players who stayed on in South Africa after the 1896 tour to each win a VC, the attempted rescue of the guns at Colenso, where seven VCs were won, the blinded Scottish officer who continued leading his men, the Capetonian who carried his wounded brother away from the enemy's trenches and the first of the 'Double VCs' to be won. We read also of the American Congressional Medal of Honour winner, whose continuous bravery was recognised by a unique award.
