While almost everyone knows that the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift in SOuth Africa holds the record for the greatest number of Victoria Crosses (11) won in a single action in the British military what is the battle in our history where the most Medal of Honors were awarded?
Last I heard so many VCS were given because that was the only award to give at the time...
