Stumbled across this article today and was very surprised to see the claim that the factory was collectively awarded the VC. This is not mentioned in teh VC article, and so far as I was aware the first collective award was of the GC to island of Malta in WWII. The VC can only be awarded for actions "in the face of enemy". I'd be interested to see a direct quote form the source cited. David Underdown ( talk)
Hi Andy. As I understand it, WWI filling factories that weren't owned and/or operated under contract by an established commercial concern but rather directly owned by the British government, in the form of the Ministry for Munitions, were each individually organised as State-owned enterprises in their own right. Or have I got my wires crossed somewhere? Ceannlann gorm ( talk) 20:35, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
