Canada's Victoria Cross
Canada’s Victoria Cross Governor General Gouverneur général of Canada du Canada Pro Valore: Canada’s Victoria Cross 1 For more information, contact: The Chancellery of Honours Office of the Secretary to the Governor General Rideau Hall 1 Sussex Drive Ottawa, ON K1A 0A1 www.gg.ca 1-800-465-6890 Directorate of Honours and Recognition National Defence Headquarters 101 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, ON K1A 0K2 www.forces.gc.ca 1-877-741-8332 Art Direction ADM(PA) DPAPS CS08-0032 Introduction At first glance, the Victoria Cross does not appear to be an impressive decoration. Uniformly dark brown in colour, matte in finish, with a plain crimson ribbon, it pales in comparison to more colourful honours or awards in the British or Canadian Honours Systems. Yet, to reach such a conclusion would be unfortunate. Part of the esteem—even reverence—with which the Victoria Cross is held is due to its simplicity and the idea that a supreme, often fatal, act of gallantry does not require a complicated or flamboyant insignia. A simple, strong and understated design pays greater tribute. More than 1 300 Victoria Crosses have been awarded to the sailors, soldiers and airmen of British Imperial and, later, Commonwealth nations, contributing significantly to the military heritage of these countries. In truth, the impact of the award has an even greater reach given that some of the recipients were sons of other nations who enlisted with a country in the British Empire or Commonwealth and performed an act of conspicuous Pro Valore: Canada’s Victoria Cross 5 bravery. -

Response to the original edition was so favourable that we decided to issue a revised, slightly longer edition of the booklet. The Victoria Cross, as the highest decoration for military valour in the Canadian military experience, has a long and illustrious history. Whether the subject is the eighty- one British Victoria Crosses awarded to members of the Canadian military or the creation and production of the nationalized Victoria Cross, there are many fascinating aspects to the subject. Pro Valore: Canada’s Victoria Cross 5 This booklet is intricately connected to additional material found on the website of the Directorate of History and Heritage (www.forces.gc.ca) including the full citations for each award from the London Gazette for each recipient as well as images and biographi- cal material for each recipient.
