Victoria Cross Devalued
The Unknown Soldier is, by all accounts, unknown.
The Canadian Victoria Cross is "awarded for the most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty, in the presence of the enemy."
What act or acts did the Unknown Soldier do to deserve this award?
It seems our most "pre-eminent" military award has been seriously devalued by the Conservative government.
