Bidspirit auction | Korean War Victoria Cross winner

Korean War Victoria Cross winner Col J Carne signed rare 1971 Imjin River Cover. Not seen this on such a cover in 20 years so might be unique. Colonel James Power Carne VC DSO (11 April 1906 - 19 April 1986) was a British Army officer who served in both the Second World War and the Korean War. He was also a recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces, for actions during the Battle of the Imjin River during which Carne led The Glorious Glosters in a famous stand against an overwhelming Chinese attack on Gloster Hill.
