Talk:The Register of the Victoria Cross

[Untitled]
The word 'Congressional' in the description of the United States Medal of Honour is incorrect. Correct description is simply 'The Medal of Honour'.82.36.194.190 16:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Removal of sentence
I have removed the sentence "and the merest glimpse of that distinctive crimson ribbon on the brest of a veteran is sufficient to establish him as a military monarch in the minds of his fellow men, and nothing short of a god in the eyes of schoolboys throughout the world." as it is not encyclopedic in nature and basically non NPOV. I have revised the first sentence of the section headed "The Victoria Cross", as it was inaccurate and suggested that the medal is some kind of competition or ranking. For example, the criteria for the Canadian VC are described as follows:"The Victoria Cross shall be awarded for the most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty, in the presence of the enemy." After any single military action, one or none or more than one VC could in theory be awarded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markcymru (talk • contribs) 16:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Ernest Sykes (VC)
The article needs a lot a work but this correction would be more suitable for the article Ernest Sykes (VC) where the date is stated as 9 April 1917. It would be helpful to note that the action for which Ernest Sykes was awarded the VC is listed in official records and in many reference works, including The Register of the Victoria Cross as 19 April 1917. Other reference works indicate the correct day was Easter Monday, 9 April 1917 the start of the Battle of Arras. Anthony Staunton (talk) 14:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
