List of Victoria Crosses by School

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The schools of Britain, the British Empire, and later the Commonwealth, have contributed greatly to their armed forces, with some schools having lost hundreds of former pupils, especially in the First and Second World Wars. Some schools boast Victoria Cross recipients among their alumni, and more than thirty schools are known to have educated more than one VC recipiant. These are listed in the table below, along with the campaigns for which the VCs were awarded. The order of the schools is by the number of Victoria Crosses received.
