| 附加信息 |
Herbert Le Patourel was a Guernsey-born officer who received the Victoria Cross for an attack on enemy positions near Tebourba, Tunisia in December 1942 — leading repeated assaults after all other officers in his company had been killed or wounded. He was reported dead and the VC was gazetted posthumously, only for Le Patourel to turn up alive in a prisoner-of-war camp. The award was confirmed regardless.
This issue is one in a long-running Guernsey series honoring VC recipients with island connections, struck in the centenary years following the medal's establishment.
