| An incomplete list of masonic recipients of the Victoria Cross |
| This list of 130 names was compiled by Prestonian Lecturer, Granville Angell, Lord Cannock in 2006. In 2017 he published Volume of Valour, a weighty tome containing biographies and additional information on 178 freemasons who had been awarded the Victoria Cross. Unfortunately, the press run was only 125 copies, most of which were either donated or sold to Grand Lodges around the world. The full list of names is not available online.
