It is awarded for gallantry "in the face of the enemy" to members of the British armed forces. It may be awarded posthumously.
It was previously awarded to Commonwealth countries, most of which have established their own honours systems and no longer recommend British honours. It may be awarded to a person of any military rank in any service and to civilians under military command although no civilian has received the award since 1. Since the first awards were presented by Queen Victoria in 1. British monarch. These investitures are usually held at Buckingham Palace. The VC was introduced on 2. January 1. 85. 6 by Queen Victoria to honour acts of valour during the Crimean War. Since then, the medal has been awarded 1,3.
Only 1. 5 medals, 1. British Army, and four to the Australian Army, have been awarded since the Second World War. The traditional explanation of the source of the metal from which the medals are struck is that it derives from Russian cannon captured at the Siege of Sevastopol. Some research has suggested a variety of origins for the material.[4] Research has established that the metal for most of the medals made since December 1. Chinese cannons[5] that were captured from the Russians in 1. Owing to its rarity, the VC is highly prized and the medal has fetched over £4. A number of public and private collections are devoted to the Victoria Cross.

Canada,[8] followed in 1. Australia[9] and New Zealand,[1. British or Imperial honours system.
As each country's system evolved, operational gallantry awards were developed with the premier award of each system—the VC for Australia, the Canadian VC and the VC for New Zealand—being created and named in honour of the Victoria Cross. These are unique awards of each honours system, recommended, assessed, gazetted and presented by each country.
In 1. 85. 4, after 3. Britain found itself fighting a major war against Russia. The Crimean War was one of the first wars with modern reporting, and the dispatches of William Howard Russell described many acts of bravery and valour by British servicemen that went unrewarded.[1. Before the Crimean War, there was no official standardised system for recognition of gallantry within the British armed forces. Officers were eligible for an award of one of the junior grades of the Order of the Bath and brevet promotions while a Mention in Despatches existed as an alternative award for acts of lesser gallantry. This structure was very limited; in practice awards of the Order of the Bath were confined to officers of field rank.[1. Brevet promotions or Mentions in Despatches were largely confined to those who were under the immediate notice of the commanders in the field, generally members of the commander's own staff.[1.
Other European countries had awards that did not discriminate against class or rank; France awarded the Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honour, established 1. The Netherlands gave the Order of William (established in 1. There was a growing feeling among the public and in the Royal Court that a new award was needed to recognise incidents of gallantry that were unconnected with a man's lengthy or meritorious service. Queen Victoria issued a Warrant under the Royal sign- manual on 2. January 1. 85. 6[1. February 1. 85. 6)[1. VC. The order was backdated to 1.
Crimean War.[1. 5]Queen Victoria had instructed the War Office to strike a new medal that would not recognise birth or class. The medal was meant to be a simple decoration that would be highly prized and eagerly sought after by those in the military services.[1. To maintain its simplicity, Queen Victoria, under the guidance of Prince Albert, vetoed the suggestion that the award be called The Military Order of Victoria and instead suggested the name Victoria Cross. The original warrant stated that the Victoria Cross would only be awarded to soldiers who have served in the presence of the enemy and had performed some signal act of valour or devotion.[1. The first ceremony was held on 2.
June 1. 85. 7 at which Queen Victoria invested 6. Crimean recipients in a ceremony in Hyde Park, London.[1.
Manufacture[edit]A single company of jewellers, Hancocks of London, has been responsible for the production of every VC awarded since its inception.[1. It was originally intended that the VCs would be cast from the cascabels of two cannon that were captured from the Russians at the siege of Sevastopol.[1. In 1. 99. 0 Creagh and Ashton conducted a metallurgical examination of the VCs in the custody of the Australian War Memorial.[2. Later, the historian John Glanfield wrote that, through the use of X- ray studies of older Victoria Crosses, it was determined that the metal used for almost all VCs since December 1. Chinese guns, replacing an earlier gun.[4][2. Creagh noted the existence of Chinese inscriptions on the cannon, which are now barely legible due to corrosion.[2.
A likely explanation is that these cannon were taken as trophies during the First Opium War and held in the Woolwich repository. It was also thought that some medals made during the First World War were composed of metal captured from different Chinese guns during the Boxer Rebellion. This is not so, however.
The VCs examined by Creagh and Ashton [2. Australia (5. 8) and at the QE II Army Memorial Museum in New Zealand (1. VCs have been issued and no compositional inconsistencies were found.[2. It was also believed that another source of metal was used between 1. Second World War VCs when the Sevastopol metal "went missing".[4] Creagh accessed the Army records at Mo. D Donnington in 1.
The composition found in the WW2 VCs, amongst them those for Edwards (Australia) and Upham (New Zealand), is similar to that for the early WW1 medals. This is likely to be due to the reuse of material from earlier pourings, casting sprues, defective medals, etc. The barrels of the Chinese cannon are on display at Firepower - The Royal Artillery Museum at Woolwich. The remaining portion of the only remaining cascabel, weighing 3. Regiment Royal Logistic Corps at Mo. D Donnington. It can only be removed under armed guard. It is estimated that approximately 8.
VCs could be cast from this source. Appearance[edit]The decoration is a bronze cross pattée, 1 3. Saint Edward surmounted by a lion, and the inscription FOR VALOUR.[2. This was originally to have been FOR THE BRAVE, until it was changed on the recommendation of Queen Victoria, as it implied that not all men in battle were brave.[2. The decoration, suspension bar and link weigh about 0.
The cross is suspended by a ring from a seriffed "V" to a bar ornamented with laurel leaves, through which the ribbon passes.
