As Upham was taken prisoner in the action which resulted in the award of a Bar to his VC, I can't see where the opportunity to be recommended for a second Bar would arise, unless for 'escape' activities.


For a story regarding King George VI & Upham, relating to the presentation of the awards, see 'The Evolution of the Victoria Cross' by M.J. Crook, pp 239-240. It is a bit of a comedy of errors, related at some length.
