Since 1854, how many Canadians have been awarded the Victoria Cross?

  1. 76

  2. 86

  3. 96

  4. 106

The correct answer is: 96

The Victoria Cross is a military decoration awarded for bravery in the face of the enemy to members of the British armed forces, and formerly to Commonwealth countries. The Victoria Cross was established in 1856 and 1854 is significant because that is when the first awards were made. Hence, since 1854, only 96 Canadians have been awarded this prestigious honor. Option A, B, and D may seem close to the correct answer, but they are not because they do not take into consideration the years before 1854 when the Victoria Cross was not yet established. Therefore, the correct answer is 96 Canadians.
