Rejected petition Award John Simpson Kirkpatrick a posthumous Victoria Cross

Rejected on

We call on the Government to recommend the award of a posthumous Victoria Cross to John Simpson Kirkpatrick for outstanding Gallantry.

He continually risked his life bringing back wounded soldiers from the front line and no man’s land saving over 300 lives until he was shot and killed by a sniper.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about honours or appointments.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
