Surrey Infantry’s World War One Victoria Crosses - A talk by Ian EJ Chatfield
This talk will tell the stories behind the award of the Victoria Cross to the 14 members of the Queen’s and East Surrey’s from the Defence of Hill 60 in the battle for Ypres to the capture of Turkish Guns in Palestine. Private Dwyer at 19 years old was the youngest man to receive the award at the time and Private Jack Harvey who on his own captured an enemy dugout and compelled the 37 occupants to surrender are just two of the 14.
