List of Canadian Victoria Cross recipients

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of Canadian recipients of the Victoria Cross, the highest war honour of the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations. It was presented to almost a hundred Canadians between its creation soon after the Crimean War and 1993 (though no Canadian has been awarded the honour since 1945).

As of 1993 Canadians were no longer eligible for the British Victoria Cross, for the medal was replaced with a new Canadian Victoria Cross—it has yet to be awarded. In appearance the new one is identical to the British medal, but the words are in Latin instead of English, as a compromise since both French and English could not easily fit on the medal. The last living Canadian recipient of the British VC, "Smokey" Smith, died in August 2005.

Note: Newfoundlanders who were awarded the Victoria Cross prior to 1949 are listed under List of Newfoundlander Victoria Cross recipients.
