Victoria Cross
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Victoria Cross was one of the highest honours the United Kingdom could bestow upon military personnel.
In a letter dated 1 July 1944, Prem Barsar informed Umbreen that there was talk of Prakash Ahluwalia receiving the Victoria Cross after he was wounded charging an Italian machine gun post in the Upper Tiber Valley. The capture of the post allowed the mixed Allied unit to avoid encirclement, with Prem guessing Prakash had saved more than a hundred lives. (PROSE: Letters from the Front)
