On 23 September 1940, as a response to the changing nature of conflict that the Second World War had brought about, George VI announced the creation of the George Cross. Michael Ashcroft tells the stories of all 161 recipients of the George Cross since 1940, allowing us to remember those who have risked their lives for the sake of others.
