Some young Tim Hiddleston action here, from the brilliant 2006 Victoria Cross Heroes series.
Hard to recreate the intensity of the fighting around Kohima, and they miss out the part where John Randle covers the embrasure with his own body to contain the grenade blast

On @newsofthewar.bsky.social, we've revelled in stories that aren't well known, 1939-45. We were keen to do a VC-special. But when @andyaitch.bsky.social realised he'd got unseen film of Ian Liddell VC - that was something else.
Daily Mirror 7th June 1944
Take that, fascists
Here it is. The found footage of Ian Liddell VC.
As far as I know this footage has NEVER been seen publicly before.
Filmed on the 7/4/45, 4 days after the action on the bridge, and 2 weeks before he was killed.
He was called the officer that never lost his temper, I think you can see that here.
