All ten Victoria Crosses ever awarded to the Royal Marines are to be publicly displayed together for the first time, marking a historic milestone for the institution.1 The medals will be permanently housed in a newly built "Royal Marines Experience" exhibition at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, a £15 million facility set to open on October 24.1 The display will showcase 360 years of Royal Marines history through these extraordinary decorations for valor.1
The Victoria Crosses on exhibition chronicle acts of courage spanning from the Crimean War through both World Wars.1 Among the recipients honored is Sergeant Norman Augustus Finch, who earned his cross on April 23, 1918, during the Zeebrugge Raid.1 Lance Corporal Walter Richard Parker received his decoration on May 1, 1915, at Gallipoli, where he traversed 365 meters of open ground to reach enemy trenches.1
