An easy one for all you shy hit and run people, and I expect to get loads of replies.
Which military event was responsible for the highest number of V.C.'s ever awarded in a single action, and how many was it?

Hi Webmaster,
Never mind jumping in first on the easy ones, I'm trying to get replies from the reluctant hitters.
Go back to the open forum and reply to the cryptic one if you're feeling clever. I've answered the clues to give you all a chance, I've also given the correct answer to the easy one.
L.O.L. Derrick.

Hancocks and Company, the well-known London jewellers who have made every Victoria Cross, the hand finished 0.87-troy-ounce medals are a source of company pride. Each is made of bronze from Chinese cannons captured from the Russians at the siege of Sebastopol during the Crimean War, large ingots of which are stored at an army depot near London. Although some fakes exist, artisans at Hancocks can invariably state whether a medal is genuine.

I know where, and so do you Mr webmaster. :)

Think front Parade.
