Thanks very much for the info and tasking the time to post it

Chris,
If you contact Ian Sadler who uses this site he can give you a link for a web site that has all the commendations for Brit/commonwelth medal /MiD winners from the 2nd world war and gives the citations for the awards

Hi Chris

Sir Charles Upham has to be the New Zealands and the worlds most famous VC winner as he is the only person to ever win the VC and bar.
Heres some info on him:

He was not the only recipiant of course, heres another site with other recipiants:

I don't mean to disagree, however, only three people have been awarded the Victoria Cross twice, Noel Chavasse, Arthur Martin-Leake and New Zealander Charles Upham.

During the First World War, Chavasse was a captain with the Royal Army Medical Corps, British Army attached to the 1/10th Battalion of The King's (Liverpool Regiment).

Arthur Martin-Leake was awarded the VC during the Boer War, and the Bar in 1914.

Thanks all for the responses and the links all info will be put to good use
