Winners of the Victoria Cross WW1
The list below is of the first 50 winners of this distinguished medal given for outstanding feats of bravery created during the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The first world war was a dreadful calamity and I have always been interested in every aspect of it. The waste of – mainly young – human life in the most degrading circumstances is enough to make anyone weep. But in the face of my research I wondered if there was a predominance of characters of a particular plus/minus type and hence the reason for the inclusion of this list. I hope to add the names of many more brave human beings.
