A statue in Amberley honours military hero and local farmer Charles Upham, the only man to receive the Victoria Cross twice for courage under fire in the Second World War. Upham’s physical strength and determination were honed by his days mustering sheep in the rugged Canterbury high country.
Listen to a Roadside Story about Charles Upham. Roadside Stories is a series of audio guides to places around New Zealand.
