  • The Victoria Cross Zeb Micic 2
    The Victoria Cross Zeb Micic Why was the Victoria Cross formed in 1857, and how has it evolved in the subsequent 150 years? Zeb Micic It is ordained that the distinction shall be styled and designated ‘THE VICTORIA CROSS' and shall consist of a Maltese Cross of bronze with Our Royal Crest in the centre and underneath which, an enscroll bearing the inscription, ‘For Valour'.1 Introduction The Victoria Cross (VC) will always be an endless source of interest and fascination for swathes of the public: this article charts the formation of this unique award, its evolution, and its fascination for not only historians and medal collectors, but also the general public at large. While only dealing with the medal itself, the article, also, looks at the military and society itself – since the VC is, perhaps, a microcosm of British society at large. This essay will look at the systems in place to recognise gallantry prior to the formation of the VC showing the need for a decoration and how it came to be formed. It will then look at the ‘prestige’ of the VC. It is not my intention to discuss individual holders of this most important of decorations, not withstanding my great admiration for their courage and devotion to duty, they truly are, as the long serving secretary of the VC and GC Association said, ‘just incredible people’.2 The Victoria Cross is known by all of us: Mark Smith, former curator of the Royal Artillery Museum, said ‘I take eight year old children in classes… and they have heard [of the VC].’3 Recognising gallantry prior to the VC Until the Crimean War, it took a civil war, and the subsequent deposition of the monarchy, for the British to honour gallantry with a medal of sorts.

    PART 11 For Valour: Victoria Cross and George Cross winners from Volunteer Reserve Units within Greater London Victoria Cross and George Cross A tribute to the Military Reserves of Greater London 1908 - 2014 Introduction The Victoria Cross was founded by Royal Warrant on 29th January 1852 and is awarded for acts of conspicuous bravery in the face of the enemy. The decoration is in the form of a Maltese Cross made from the bronze of cannons captured at Sevastopol during the Crimean War. Originally the ribbon of the Victoria Cross was blue for the Navy and dark red for the Army, however in 1918 the colour was changed to the current crimson for all 3 services. The first Victoria Cross was awarded to Charles Davis Lucas, an Irishman serving with the Royal Navy, on 26th June 1854 some 19 months prior to the institution of the Royal Warrant. Lucas was serving aboard HMS HECLA during the Crimean War when a live Russian shell landed on the Ship’s Deck. Lucas picked up the shell and threw it overboard where it exploded. This prompt action saved the Ship and its crew from certain destruction. The first Territorial Officer to win the Victoria Cross was Second Lieutenant Geoffrey Woolley of the 9th (County of London) Battalion The London Regiment (Queen Victoria’s Rifles) on Hill 60 in the Ypres sector of Belgium, on the night of 20th April 1915. This was followed 41 days later by the first Territorial from the Ranks to win the Victoria Cross, Lance Sergeant Douglas Belcher of the 1st/5th (City of London) Battalion The London Regiment (London Rifle Brigade) for a deed of gallantry, also in the Ypres sector.
