Gazette Information: VICTORIA CROSS,: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/36907/supplements/561. Lieutenant John Hollington Grayburn, The Parachute Regiment (Army Air Corps). During the period 17th/20th September 1944 at Arnhem, Holland, at the assault on the bridge over the Rhine, Lieutenant Grayburn led his men with supreme gallantry and determination. Although wounded early in the action, in pain, short of food and without sleep, his courage never flagged. He constantly exposed himself to the enemy's fire, moving among his men encouraging them, and seemed oblivious to danger. If it had not been for his inspiring leadership and personal bravery, the Arnhem bridge could never have been held for this time.
