THE VICTORIA CROSS AT SEA: The Sailors, Marines and Airmen Awarded Britain's Highest Honour

Naval VCs have been won in places as far apart in time and distance as the Baltic in 1854 and Japan in 1945, in the trenches from the Crimea to the Western Front, in harbors from Dar es Salaam to Zeebrugge. They have been won in battleships and trawlers, in submarines below the water and aircraft above it, on horseback and on foot. Photos.
