Join Bexley’s Local Studies Librarian Will Cooban in discovering the life stories behind six men with Bexley links who have won the prestigious Victoria Cross medal, and the Hall Place raised artist who helped make the award world famous. Located in the historic house, use the large green gates to the house from the car park.
The Victoria Cross is Britain’s highest military award for gallantry. With its origins dating back to 1857 and the Crimean War, it is awarded to any member of Britain’s armed forces (regardless of rank) who “in the presence of the Enemy shall have performed some single act of valour or devotion to their Country”. Join Bexley’s Local Studies Librarian Will Cooban in discovering the life stories behind six men with Bexley links who have won the VC, and the Hall Place raised artist who helped make the award world famous. (Most of them also had magnificent moustaches, – so you can help judge who had the best one, too!)
