That’s their version of our CMH, correct?
Yes - both the Medal of Honor and the Victoria Cross are awarded only for the most pre-eminent bravery in the face of the enemy.
Four Victoria Crosses have been awarded in the current war - two to Britons (posthumously to Corporal Bryan Budd VC, Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry VC survived with serious injuries), one to a New Zealander (Corporal William Apiata VC) and one to an Australian (Trooper Mark Donaldson VC).
