Britain's King George VI has graciously approved the award of the Victoria Cross to 2nd Lieutenant Charles Kazlett Upham of the New Zealand force. During the operation in Crete, this officer performed a series of remarkable exploits showing outstanding leadership, tactical skill and utter indifference to danger. He commanded a forward platoon in the attack on Maleme on May 22nd and fought his way forward for over 3000 yards unsupported by any other arms against a defence strongly organized in depth.
