Notes
- A ^ Bassett's citation in the London Gazette recorded the date of his action to be 7 August,[1] though Snelling 1995, p. 185 contends that this is incorrect and Bassett's actions occurred over the period of 8–9 August.
- B ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The men of the 1st Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers publicised as the "6 VCs Before Breakfast".[2][3][4]
- C ^ Nasmith changed his surname to Dunbar-Nasmith by deed poll on 4 January 1923.[5] As the name change occurred after his Victoria Cross action, his original surname is recorded in this list.
