Remembered Today:

Victoria Cross Feast!


Kitchener's Bugle

Recommended Posts

In my seemingly endless visits of Regimental Museums I have laid my eyes (and camera) on well over a Hundred Victoria Crosses.....

I would like to take the opportunity to revist and share some of the highlights all in one place!

Hope that you enjoy them as much as I have.
