Thompson
RAF |
|
Very
few people have been awarded the Victoria Cross.
It is reserved for those who carry out remarkable
acts of bravery and put the lives of others ahead of
their own. On 1 January 1945, towards the end
of WWII, George was a member of crew on a bomber
which was hit by flak during its mission. He
bravely rescued two gunners from the rear of the
burning plane before it crash-landed but died later
from his injuries. (more)

Education |
|
Schools put in a lot of effort to help pupils get
the most out of their education. A lot of this
work goes on quietly without any fuss.
However, occasionally schools are given special
recognition for their efforts in the form of an
award. This happened to Kinross High in 2004
when it won a national award as Most Enterprising
School for its efforts in helping pupils
understand the importance of enterprise to Scotland. |
