Have to question whether he was the first Indian to win the VC. This site claims that Khudedad Khan won the VC for an action nearly a month earlier. Maybe the dates of the announcements of their awards could be checked out? -- Arwel (talk) 02:35, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Darwan Singh Negi (1881–1950) being carried into the Royal Pavilion for treatment after being injured in the Defence of Festubert, France. He was then a naik in the 39th Garhwal Rifles, which on the night of 23–24 November 1914 retook the town's trenches from the attacking German forces. Though wounded in the head and arm, Negi continued to lead a charge as bombs exploded around him. In December Negi became one of the first Indians to receive a Victoria Cross.Photograph: L.N.C.; restoration: Adam Cuerden
