The Imperial War Museum has announced the closure of the Lord Ashcroft Gallery which housed the world's largest collection of Victoria Crosses. As a consequence Lord Ashcroft's VC Collection has been removed from the gallery and hopefully will go on public display again some time in the future. |
|
|
Any mention in this web site referring to a Victoria Cross medal group being located in the Imperial War Museum should be ignored following the closure of the Lord Ashcroft ( VC ) Gallery. |
