Great documentary on VC winner Major Robert Cain VC at Arnhem - Big Dawg - 08-19-2012

I found this and it is worth watching.

The author of video married Cain's daughter, but never met him before he passed away. Amazingly the daughter never knew her father was a VC winner. He never spoke of it.

The video has stories of other winners and the origen of the medal.

Wikipedia has a nice write up.

The 2nd part of video is of the Greatest raid of All... Raid on St. Nazaire.

More VC were awarded at the Raid on St. Nazaire than at any other time.
