A huge thank you to all of our staff, patrons and supporters who continue to support us. This year has seen us complete the highest number of restorations and without all of you we would not achieve this. #VCTrust
Today we said thankyou and farewell to Fred Adamson and his wife Elsie. Fred served with the KOYLI (Polar Bears) through DDay & Germany in the most challenging of battles. We were honoured to be asked by his family to erect their headstone at Conisbrough. Lest We Forget. #VCTrust
- he made a fifth journey and remained out under conditions which appeared to be certain death, until he had bandaged all those who were too badly wounded to be moved. These gallant actions, performed under incessant machine gun and rifle fire, showed an utter contempt of danger.
For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty when his battalion in attack was held up about 350 yards in advance of our lines by intense fire from front and flank, and suffered heavy casualties. Pte. Sykes, despite this heavy fire, went forward and brought back four wounded
Restoration of Adams VC - Ashwell Rutland. Plaque on grave was in a poor state when we cleaned it earlier this year. Returned to restore plaque. #VCTrust
Isle of Wight 2025 completed. 43 cleans including stabilising and repinning. Two presentation evenings were also delivered. A huge thankyou to everyone who made it happen and easier for us to work, sleep and travel. Apologies if we missed you but we will be back in 2026. #vctrust
