NZ Biography - Charles Upham

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 26 September 2019

Time for this week's biography, and today we're talking about a humble man from Canterbury who went on to win two Victoria Crosses for his bravery and valour in the most trying of circumstances.

Charles Hazlitt Upham is New Zealand's most decorated soldier - and here now to talk a bit about his life is military historian Dr Aaron Fox.
