Perhaps this should be in the Medals section, but anyway...
I know of four American-born winners of the Victoria Cross who served in the Canadian Army in WW1.They are Capt.B.S.Hurchison,VC,MC,Canadian Army Medical Corps, a doctor from Mt.Carmel,Ill.; L/Cpl.W.H.Metcalf,VC,MM & Bar,16th Bn.,from Waite Township,Me.; Sgt.R.L.Zengel,VC,MM, from Faribault,Minn.; and Sgt.G.H.Mullin,VC,MM, from Portland,Ore.
Actually Mullin and Zengel left the US as infants when their families moved to Canada, and both spent the rest of their lives in Canada. Metcalf and Hutchison, however, returned to the US after the war.
Are there any other American VC winners?
