Splendid to hear that the stolen VC's and medal hoard has been recovered. I hope those who stole them are treated worse than cockroaches.

Simon....

Sorry matey.. your wrong in your statement. Upham won his two VC's for The Boer War and WW.1, Chavace won both his for WW.1. Then the third = a Ghurka, who is still living. All the VC's we for combat actions.

Sorry Seph but you are very wrong in your statement and Simon is correct.
Upham did not serve in the Boer War or WW1, he was a
WW2 vet and won the VC with Bar for combat actions on Crete and in Egypt at El Alamein. The following wikipedia link will confirm this.

Have they caught the B%$tard thieves yet?

Not yet, Mark.
There were some very dodgy, underhand deals done to get them back. More information will come out - and I expect that our Police might (finally) do what a local TV crew did today - actually interview one of the thieving sh!tes that did it.
