Honour - ALEXANDRIA 1882 |
||||
| Description |
The action took place at Alexandria, and was intended to quell anti-Foreign
riots which were taking place. The port and installations were bombarded by the British Mediterranean Fleet, comprising eight armoured ships plus other smaller vessels. A VC was earned by a gunner on board the flagship Alexandra, when he picked up a live shell and put it into a bucket of water to render it harmless.
