Real Life Heroes

We are dedicated to the upkeep of the graves and the memory of Victoria Cross Recipients, many of whom gave their lives in military conflict across the world.

The Victoria Cross is the highest military decoration awarded to persons who in the presence of the enemy, display the most conspicuous gallantry; a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice; or extreme devotion to duty.
