Kidorry Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 We were talking the other day about the second world war and it came up that 2 men from Sheffield were one of the first to receive this medal for their bravery.Can anyone throw any light on this because it is the first time I have heard of it?

Guest Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 A relative of mine was given a medal, whilst travelling to London by train a lady gave him a white feather. The King give him the Victoria Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
