The Captain With Two Victoria Crosses!

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.CASTLondon Gazette - Andrea ReidBishop of Liverpool - Steve SheperdTHIS PODCASTThis podcast has been specially edited from a Bradley Stoke Radio show in Bristol, England. If you liked it please leave a rating and maybe a comment and if you’d like to support the show with a donation, however small, you can go to Ko-Fi.comSome more great news for you, if you were interested in buying merchandise featuring the show’s logo, then pop over to Teepublic, you’ll find lots of things to choose from.So, thankyou for listening and until next time guys, take care and look after each other.CONTACT MEEmail: [email protected]: @BackTrackerUKInstagram: @backtrackerukBluesky: @BackTrackerUK-SOURCESRuncorn Examiner - Saturday 28 October 1916Bromsgrove & Droitwich Messenger - Saturday 28 October 1916Warrington Guardian - Saturday 22 September 1917Morning Post - Thursday 09 August 1917Derby Daily Telegraph - Wednesday 05 September 1917Commonwealth War Graves CommissionAncestryWigan Examiner - Saturday 03 July 1920-Sound Effects by zapsplat.comIntro music by The Model Folk Back In The Day music by Freesoundmusic© THE BACKTRACKER HISTORY SHOW 2025
