The Victoria Cross
For Valor In Ten Colors
eeklyuIaii end Empire

For News 24 Pages
THE picture shown is one dear to every man, woman,
boy and girl, on account of its meaning—"The Vic-
toria Cross," given for conspicuous bravery. If only
thei
so I of South Africa could voice the deeds performe3
upon it, how many Victoria Crosses would have bun
found to have been earned by Canada's sons! It I;
hard in the heat of action to notice every act of valor, and
therefore only those which take place under the eye of
superiors of sufficient rank can be noted.
The picture shows one of such deeds. Two troopers are
closely pressed by the enemy, The horse of one is hit.
Under the withering fire, the man whose mount is unharmed
halts, and, risking everything, waits to get his comrade safely
mounted behind him and, carry him back to the Canadian
lines. It is a desperate deed, and one 'often performed but
seldom noticed. When, however, such an act is seen, the
reward dear to soldiers' hearts above every other is the
result.
This picture is from the brush of Mr. W. B. Wollen, an
art'st famed for his war pictures, one whose work appearsin
all the leading illustrated periodicals of the Empire. It is a
forceful subject from the hand of a strong ma'n.
