| | Cecil John Kinross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cecil John Kinross (born Feb 17, 1896 at Dews Farm, Harefield, Middlesex - June 21, 1957) was a Canadian 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. |
 | | Private Kinross, making a careful survey of the situation, deliberately divested himself of all his equipment save his rifle and bandolier and, regardless of his personal safety, advanced alone over the open ground in broad daylight, charged the enemy machine gun, killing the crew of six, and seized and destroyed the gun. |
 | | Mount Kinross, 2560m, 24km NW of Jasper, Alberta in the Jasper National Park was named after him in 1951. |
