In the annals of military history, these brave souls etched their names in gold and silver. Their valorous acts on the battlefield earned them prestigious medals that symbolize courage and sacrifice. Among them stands Sergeant J Danagher, a hero from the 2nd Battalion, The Connaught Rangers in 1881.

Corporal Christian Ferdinand Schiess of the 3rd Natal Native Contingent also left an indelible mark in 1879 with his selfless actions. His gallantry was recognized through another Victoria Cross, a testament to his extraordinary service. Sergeant Frederick Peake's name resonates throughout history not once but twice. In 1855, he received the Turkish Crimean War Medal for his remarkable contributions as part of the 13th (Light) Dragoons. Later on, during the Peninsula War in 1815, Colonel Sir William de Lancey was honored with an Army Gold Cross for his exceptional leadership. The Distinguished Service Order bestowed upon Second-Lieutenant Cyril George Edwards in 1917 exemplifies his outstanding dedication to duty amidst adversity. Lieutenant-Colonel William Miller's short-tailed coatee serves as a reminder of his command over the soldiers of the esteemed 3rd Battalion, 1st Foot Guards during battlefields ablaze in 1815. The Hon Lieutenant Frederick Hugh Sherston Roberts' Victoria Cross group is a poignant tribute to his valiant efforts while serving with Kings Royal Rifle Corps. Captain Hugh Shaw's VC medal commemorates his heroic deeds at Nukumaru, New Zealand in1865 as part of the renowned18th (Royal Irish) Regiment of Foot.
