Europe's Last Victoria Cross: The Actions of Guardsman Edward Charlton | April 1945

In April 1945, troops of the Guards Armoured Division were ordered to capture the small village of Wistedt, in Northern Germany. Within an hour of securing this objective, however, the British troops came under a heavy German counter-attack, with Guardsman Edward Charlton acting entirely on his own initiative to single-handedly hold the German advance, whilst his colleagues withdrew from the village. His actions would see him recognised with the Victoria Cross, the last to have been awarded in Europe.
