Victoria Cross won by Hero of Manipur to be sold at auction | St Albans & Harpenden Review

A Victoria Cross won by an Army officer for his bravery in a controversial war during the era of the British Raj is expected to fetch up to £400,000 when it is sold at auction. Colonel Charles Grant was a 29-year-old lieutenant with the 12th Regiment (2nd Burma Battalion) Madras Infantry when he fought in the Anglo-Manipur War in 1891. The month-long conflict between the British Empire and the Kingdom of Manipur – on the North East Frontier of India – saw Grant earn the nickname the “Hero of Manipur” for his bravery. Lieutenant Charles Grant’s Victoria Cross group of medals will be sold at auction later this month (Dix Noonan Webb /PA)
