The Victoria Cross

The works in this section illustrate 41 individual acts of heroism by members of the three services during the Second World War. The pieces were commissioned by the Ministry of Information for a propaganda pamphlet illustrating the bravery and selflessness of members of the armed forces.

This section is by no means an exhaustive list of the Victoria Cross (VC) winners of the Second World War and only covers a limited number of recipients from the years 1939 to 1943. The range of pieces does however represent a broad cross section of Empire and Dominion troops with Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, Rhodesians and Indians as well as British VC winners.
