Actually, Osborn was the last Canadian to be awarded (postumostly) the Victoria Cross during WWII, though his action may have been the first, it was not until after the POWs were released that word of his heroics were made known to the powers that be and he was awarded the VC, his wife accepted it in 1946 I believe it was.
