Decoration	Victoria Cross Victoria Cross The Victoria Cross (VC) was founded in 1856 to honour those who show exceptional courage with the enemy in site. It is the highest award a British soldier can receive. It is made of bronze out of a canon used in the \'Crim War\'. Since 1856 a total of 1400 VC\'s were issued. Only 106 in the WW II period. Those who receive this very rare award receive an annual tax-free amount of 1300 pound. Common Wealth members Canada and Australia consider it as national inheritance material which means it should never leave the country. A total of five VC\'s were issued for soldiers who fought at Arnhem. You can read the full stories on the Victoria Cross Award section. Go to MarketGarden.com - Victoria Cross Awards section Close
