Today in 1941, German forces began their airborne assault on the Greek island of Crete. Facing defeat, around 18,000 Allied forces were evacuated from the island between 28 May and 1 June. Second Lieutenant Charles Upham, a New Zealander, was awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallantry during the battle - the first of two he received during the war. Below is an extract from Charles's entry in our Victoria Cross collection, detailing his actions during the battle. | Forces War Records
