I can't yet found out who this Victoria Cross winner is, but I think we can rule out the current suggested name of William Young.
Young was badly injured in the jaw during the action for which he was awarded his VC. He died in hospital in 1916, some 9 months after his heroics, during an operation to repair it. The description of that injury would certainly not appear to fit the man in this picture.
Interesting. Thanks for doing some digging. Can anyone suggest who this is a clip of?
