Every Victoria Cross that's ever been awarded comes from a quiet little jeweller's shop in the West End of London. It's a shop you'd hardly notice in the ordinary way. But it's to that little shop that the postman every now and again brings a letter mark- ed OHMS.—just the sort you'd write to your tailor and say you wanted another suit. right up to the Mettle of Libya, the wahine of V t.:.'s ,i s5 twee in the hands of the saint- family, 'first the founder of the Jeweller's shot], then his son, and holt- his grandson. The first time you 1(01' n Vir'taria - Cross, - you probably think it would be quite easy to make one. I1ut look at it closely and you that why sued -1. - perfect, such delicate workmanship 15 necessary, - The medal itself is a Maltese Cross and embossed in the center is the Royal Crown, Over the Crown stands a lion. Every detail, evert down to the lion's -nostrils, is ahsol- utely 01a1w1e5)); every line -and curve is perfection itself. Under the crown are the two words "For Valour," Then there's the ribbon itself, It's a deep, blood red, a lovely glowing colour like a summer rose. And 'all this is built by the jewellers into an insignia that's only just aver three inches long', an inch and a half wide and weighs about as much as a silver dollar. And, strangely enough, its in- trinsic value isn't even fifty cents; it's about ten cents, 00 course, you couldn't bury one for that, They fetch anything up to $500 when they are offered for sale, and that's not very often.. As soon as the Service chiefs have decided that a V.C. is to be awarded, at letter is sent to the little jeweller's shop. It's just an ordinary typed let- ter saying "Please supply one V.C."; giving the man's name and rank for the inscription; and telling them where to send the account, A few days hater, the insignia is delivered to Service headquarters by -special messenger, and then everything is ready for the presentation.
