Victoria Cross and George Cross holders

Six Old Wykehamists have won the Victoria Cross, four in the First World War, 1914–18 (of whom three were killed in action) and two prior to 1914. Also in the Second World War one Old Wykehamist won the George Cross in military circumstances and another Old Wykehamist won the George Medal in military circumstances.

Civilian gallantry

Note that the award made to Peter Victor Danckwerts (detailed above under 'Military') was made in a military capacity for gallantry that was not in the face of the enemy, hence it is not repeated here.

Note that the award made to Geoffrey Ambrose Hodges (detailed above under 'Military') was made in a military capacity for gallantry that was not in the face of the enemy, hence it is not repeated here.
