New Zealand and the Victoria Cross

Page 5 – Further information

This web feature was written by Gareth Phipps and produced by the NZHistory team.

Note on sources: the primary sources for this feature are the Victoria Cross (VC) citations listed in the London Gazette (which are linked to from each entry). These medal citations were usually based on eyewitness statements written soon after the event. Unfortunately, many accounts omit relevant details (presumably for reasons of military secrecy), and have been supplemented with information gathered from the sources listed below.
