"For Valour" : The Queen Decorating Hon. Lieutenant Robertson with the V.C. 1900.

For Sale is the Front Page removed from "The Graphic, September 1st, 1900," showing a Drawing by Frank Craig, showing ""For Valour" :  The Queen Decorating Hon. Lieutenant Robertson with the V.C."

Last week Sergeant-Major (now quartermaster and Honourary Lieutenant) William Robertson, of the Gordon Highlanders, attended at Osborne, and was presented by the Queen with the Victoria Cross.  At the battle of Elands Laagte, on October 21, 1899, during the final advance on the enemy's position, this warrant officer led each successive rush, exposing himself fearlessly to the enemy's artillery and rifle fire to encourage the men.  After the main position had been captured. he led a small party to seize the Boer camp.  Though exposed to a deadly cross fire from the enemy's rifles, he gallantly held on to the position captured, and continued to encourage the men until he was dangerously wounded in two places.

Condition is Very Good.
