A unique Victoria Cross and other awards won by one of the greatest heroes in Canadian history is to be auctioned by Dix Noonan Webb on September 27.
There is a twist, however. Although the auction will take place in London, bidding will be conducted in Canadian dollars.
The VC and other medals awarded to Lt Col David Currie remain in Canada, where they have been since the present owner bought them privately from Currie’s widow Isabel in 1989.
