The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association is made up of surviving holders of the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest military award for bravery in the field, and the George Cross, the equivalent award for civilians and military personnel who have displayed conspicuous bravery but not in action.
Holders of these awards receive a civil pension and attend reunions which receive much coverage in the national press. Membership is dwindling due to the increasing age of the VCs and GCs and the tendency until recently of the government to award these medals posthumously.
Canon William Lummis MC was the Chaplain to the Association owing to his researches into the VC.
