Finding more VC's for WikiTree - -

Thank you Lianne Trevarthen, for your thoughts and comments, and the list - -

The List has Lord Gowrie, VC  who, not Aussie , was Gov. of SAust in the 30's then GGen for part of WWII -  He would be a good profile to start with - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hore-Ruthven,_1st_Earl_of_Gowrie = & = http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/gowrie-first-earl-of-6441  = and fits a few categories - - - - and = http://www.thepeerage.com/p6166.htm#i61653 = =

I have found this RSL site, which has some hints on profiles/bios, which is = https://rslvirtualwarmemorial.org.au/education/resources-for-students = & = https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/rslvwm/comfy/cms/files/files/000/000/780/original/Writing_a_Biography.pdf - -

I started Axford, VC = https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Axford-245 = to get him up as a 'starter' to Link to the RSLvirtual - - cheers -john.a

Hi John,

I have the VC recipients from the NZ Wars (1860's) in a free space already.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:New%20Zealand%20Wars%20-%20Victoria%20Cross%20recipients

This is a list of the 91 Australian recipients:

The NZ list (and other nationalities) can be found at:

Thank  you   Kevin Sands    for the list - - I had found the 1st , but not the other two - - I will send it to   Lianne Trevarthen,     as we were looking for the post 1888 ?  wars/conflicts  - - -

- ? have you seen the "virtual" websites ? - - RSL in Aust & AM in NZ - they have a field for  url Links - - this is/would be a powerful Link/tool for WikiTree - - and help promote the one person / one Profile, and their families - -

cheers - john.a
