Acknowledged widely as the outstanding soldier of the Second World War, Captain Charles Upham is the only combatant soldier to receive the Victoria Cross and Bar (awarded to members of the armed forces of the Commonwealth for exceptional bravery). In Crete in May 1941 and the Western Desert in July 1942 Upham distinguished himself with displays of "nerveless competence".
Captain Charles Hazlitt Upham, Charlie to those who knew him, is unique in the annals of the British Empire. He is the only combat soldier to ever win two Victoria Crosses, the highest award for gallantry in the British Army. A sheep musterer in the high country of New Zealand's Southern Alps before the war, Charlie was a man of contrasts. He had his rough edges, swearing with the best, but also a Diploma in Farm Management and was a qualified Valuer.
