Anthony Cecil Capel Miers (VC, KBE, CB, DSO and Bar) was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
He was 35 years old, and a Commander in the Royal Navy during the Second World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 4 March 1942 in Corfu Harbour, north-western Greece, Commander Miers, commanding HM Submarine Torbay, having followed an enemy convoy into the harbour the previous day, fired torpedoes at a destroyer and two 5000-ton transports, scoring hits on the two supply ships, which almost certainly sank.
