	Original Artwork: John Harwood: Victoria Cross
		The bronze Victoria Cross on its red ribbon -- not only one of England's most beautiful military decorations, but also Britain's highest award -- owes much to the influence of its namesake, Queen Victoria, and her consort, Prince Albert.
		Though the Cross was not actually instituted until January 29, 1856, it was made retroactive to 1854 in order to honor acts of bravery performed during the Crimean War.
		Although many of these awards are made posthumously, many living war heroes have accepted the award and three recipients have gone on to take further honors -- holders of the revered decoration receive an additional bar for each subsequent action which merits another Victoria Cross.

		The Canadian Victoria Cross, which recognizes members of the Canadian Forces for the "most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty, in the presence of the enemy," will be used to honour Canadians instead of the original Victoria Cross, created by Queen Victoria in 1856.
		The cross includes metals from three sources: gunmetal used in the production of British Victoria Crosses, a medal minted in 1867 in commemoration of the Confederation of Canada, and metals from all regions of Canada from coast to coast to coast.
		To be honest, though, I'd rather have had Canada find a different name: the Victoria Cross has stood for 150 years throughout the empire and commonwealth as a signal honour.
