  • This is Harry Daniels. Rather than being a Sergeant, he was a Sergeant-Major at the time he won his award.

    The battle for which he won his Victoria Cross took place in 1915, which would very slightly reduce the clip's current date range.

    Details of the action for which Daniels won his VC are here....
