The Victoria Cross is the most prestigious award for gallantry that can be bestowed upon a British or Commonwealth serviceman. Typically, a recommendation for this honor is initiated by an officer at the regimental level or equivalent, and it must be substantiated by testimony from three witnesses. During World War I, a total of 634 Victoria Crosses were awarded, while in World War II, the number was 182.
