Rare Victoria Cross winner Lt Col John Keefer Mahony VC signed card 12.5 x 8cm, he has added regiment. On 24 May 1944 at the River Melfa, Italy, Mahony and his company were ordered to establish the initial bridgehead over the river. This was accomplished in conjunction with the tanks of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) and for five hours the company maintained its position in the face of enemy fire and attack until the remaining companies and supporting weapons were able to reinforce them. Early in the action Mahony was wounded in the head and twice in the leg, but he refused medical aid and continued to direct the defence of the bridgehead. The enemy saw that this officer was the soul of the defence and consequently made him their particular target. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
