In WW2 there were also instances of the George Cross being awarded to members of the services.
The George Cross is the highest medal that civilians can be awarded, yet I know that in Australia's case during WW2 members of the Army & Navy were awarded this medal.
I wonder why they were awarded the GC instead of the VC.

Maybe a question I'll have to take to the Victoria Cross forum.

Cheers
