Post-Nominal
Letters: VC.
Comments: This cross is awarded along similar guidelines as for the
British Victoria cross. Apart from being very slightly larger than
the original VC it has only one important difference being the Latin
inscription 'PRO VALORE'. This change is due to Canada's 2 official
languages of English and French with the Latin not favouring either
over the other. |
