Charles Upham was the only soldier to be awarded the Victoria Cross twice for courage under fire in the Second World War. Upham had previously worked as a musterer in the Canterbury high country and many people ascribed his strength and endurance during the war to that background. A statue commemorating Upham was erected in the north Canterbury town of Amberley. This video explains his wartime achievement and shows the statue in detail.
