Hello Brian and Malcolm,
I got the VC details from this earlier forum post.
http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...445#post167445

But I now think that the "VC" Victoria Cross is in fact incorrect and is an abbreviation for the Russian Awards that he received in the first world War,

COMMANDER OF THE ORDER OF ST. VLADIMIR WITH SWORDS AND BOW, COMMANDER OF THE ORDER OF ST. STANISLAS WITH SWORDS.
