The highest British military honour is the 'Victoria Cross' (VC) medal. Awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy". It takes precedence over all other orders, decorations and medals. It may be awarded to a person of any rank in any service and to civilians under military command.
A recommendation for the VC is normally issued by an officer at regimental level, or equivalent, and has to be supported by three witnesses, although this has been waived on occasion. The recommendation is then passed up the military hierarchy until it reaches the Secretary of State for Defence. The recommendation is then laid before the monarch who approves the award with his or her signature.
