Synopsis
Excerpt from Britain's Roll of Glory, or the Victoria Cross, Its Heroes and Their Valour: From Personal Accounts, Official Records, and Regimental Tradition
A little Maltese-cross Of bronze, intrinsically worth fourpence halfpenny, cast from cannon taken at Sebastopol; upon it a crown surmounted by a lion, and underneath the words For Valour; the whole dangling by a Roman V from a piece of ribbon, crimson if the recipient is in the army, blue if he be a naval man - that is the proudest decoration a British subject can wear, the coveted prize Of the soldier and sailor, the legion Of honour of Our service, the famed victoria cross.
