Keith Payne Vc Medals. This is a moving and heartfelt tribute from legendary australian digger and victoria cross recipient, keith payne vc am, to his three fellow vc recipients from vietnam. Keith payne vc, oam (born 30 august 1933) is an australian recipient of the victoria cross, the highest decoration for gallantry in the face of the enemy awarded to members of the british and commonwealth armed forces.
The victoria cross, decorations and campaign medals awarded to warrant officer ii keith payne have been sold to the maryborough museum in queensland, australia. I don't think the figure was ever disclosed, but given the rarity of aussie vietnam vcs i reckon aus$1,000,000 wouldn't be unrealistic. ↑ co sergeant major lewis mcgee, victoriacross.org.uk ↑ vc medals in the raf museum, london, victoriacross.org.uk ↑ keith payne, vc.
