Extraordinary courage and unbelievable nerve - that s what it takes to be awarded a Victoria Cross. Acts such as jumping into enemy trenches with just a bayonet for defence or catching enemy bombs midair and throwing them back.

For Valour: Australia's Victoria Cross Heroes tells some of their remarkable stories.
