Have a look here (6th box down, right column) - http://www.wartimememories.co.uk/allied/ats.html#szabo
Tania was four years old when she received the George Cross from the king on behalf of her mother. Violette was 23 when she was executed. A truly great lady. |

You can only recieve the VC if you are a member of the armed forces. The George cross is the civilian equivalent.
