A V.C missed : the case of Dugald Drummond / by Chris Woods.
Abstract
Many soldiers have perfmormed outstanding acts of bravery which, but for the absense of "acceptable" witnesses or other local and often political factors. would normally have been recognised with a higher award than that is actually granted. It is for this reason that the Distinguished Conduct Medal is frequently rated as a ' Victoria Cross missed ". One such example of this is the case of Lieutentant Duglad Drummond.
