The Victoria Cross symbolizes the highest recognition for extraordinary acts of heroism among British and Commonwealth servicemen. It is awarded solely for extreme bravery in combat, making it the most exclusive honor, with only sixteen awarded since World War II. Recipients, often ordinary individuals, share a profound connection through their remarkable courage, frequently displayed at great personal risk. Among these awards, three were given posthumously to those who demonstrated exceptional gallantry, highlighting the ultimate sacrifice made in service.
