Instituted by Queen Victoria in 1856, a total 1,351 Victoria Crosses have been awarded to British and commonwealth Military forces. Ninety four of them have been awarded to Canadian ----8 For acts of bravery carried out prior to and during the South Africa war (1899-1902); during the First World War (1914-1918): and 16 during the second World war (1939-1945).
