Excerpt: Captain John Henry Cound Brunt VC, MC (6 December 1922 10 December 1944) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

As a young man, he had a reputation for mischief and daring, but was always respected due to his consideration for otherstraits that continued in his military career and would earn him the respect of his comrades and superiors.
