Love this bit of metalwork at the top of a building at Victoria Cross on the southside of Glasgow. I particularly like the font used for the lettering.

I missed the mark yesterday, but on 18 August 1944, as Allied forces attempted to close the Falaise Gap, Canadian Major David Currie led a small battlegroup into a French village to prevent the enemy escaping.
For his actions, he was awarded the #VictoriaCross .
