Victoria Crosses aren't earned easily so.
- moomin 3y agoIronically, apparently my no-name family has one (I don’t know the details, or rather, I forgot and the family historian is long-since dead). But even VCs are much easier to achieve at a commissioned rank.
- hef19898 3y agoInteressting family history. If you have the name and time, the VC citations should be available from the DoD.
- moomin 3y agoYeah, I don’t, sadly. All I have is a bunch of memories from 40 years ago from when someone drew out a family tree and I’ve no particular inclination to put in the hard yards to reconstruct it far back.
- eddtests 3y agoThe list isn't too bad actually, if you're English! Or any other nationality, but here is the English list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_Victoria_Cross_recipients https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_Victoria_Cross... Just in case it's easy enough to ctrl+f for your surname :) Edit: I'm sorry, just realised this is a partial list. My bad.
