The Captain With Two Victoria Crosses!
Season: 6 Episode: 35
As part of our Lest We Forget November series of show, we visit the story of Captain Noel Godfrey Chavasse, a doctor, a soldier, and one of only three people in history to be awarded the Victoria Cross twice. His compassion on the battlefield and his courage under fire remind us what true heroism looks like, not just in grand gestures, but in quiet acts of mercy amid chaos.
