Vc and bar
His Grave stone has two VC's engraved on it.
Noel Chavasse was the only man to win two in WW1.
one other won one before WW1( Boar War maybe) and one in WW1 he was also a surgeon.
The third VC and bar was awarded in WW2 to a kiwi called Charles Upham. I met him in the mid to late sixties His two VCs were awarded for actions that a couple of years apart. Read this guys story if you want to know what a VC really means.

Arthur Martin-leake was the other surgeon and also another company named after him in the junior medics, the boy Charles Upham needed a restraining jacket for his own safety, a man on a mission, shot multiple times & once captured tried to escape at every opportunity, pushed the boundaries and lived to 86

Not being funny mate but as all three of Henry VIII's children died childless and his line ended with the death of Elizabeth I how does that work?

Henry will be the same as all the royals of old - a few children who acceded to the throne and a few dozen who were shoved off to some monastery or nunnery!!
