Default Interesting Victoria Cross article.

I imagine that all of our Canadian mates will have seen this news article but I found it interesting and shall post it anyway....for the benefit of other members. The article is about the Valour Road Trio medals.

Am I correct in understanding that Canada has reverted to the use of "Royal" in their Service titles, as in "Royal Canadian Air Force", "Royal Canadian Navy", etc?

That one works. Thanks!

I could make some comments on the article, but I shan't. I imagine they have already been made.

I used the date on the article to search back over the Forum and I see there was a thread at the time. I guess I must have missed that, somehow.
