Victoria Cross

The Victoria Cross (VC) is the highest and most prestigious award of the British honours system. It is awarded for valour "in the presence of the enemy" to members of the British Armed Forces. It may be awarded posthumously. It was previously awarded to Commonwealth countries, most of which have established their own honours systems and no longer recommend British honours.

    Billy was a post-war friend of my dad (William Regan) who was in 7 Commando and was captured on Crete in 1941. I met him lots of times - they were great men.
