Name	Info
Sergeant John Jack Hinton VC (deceased) *Signature Value : £60	Joining the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force on the outbreak of World War Two, Jack Hinton was posted to Egypt in 1940. In March the next year, he was in Greece where Allied forces were preparing to abandon the country, evacuating from Kalamata. With the Germans entering the town, Hinton went against orders and arranged a small party of men to go to fight the enemy in the town. Under intense fire, he rushed an enemy gun and killed the crew with grenades, cleared out another two machine gun nests and a mortar before clearing the enemy from a house. He was wounded and then captured soon after, recovering in hospital before being taken to a POW camp until it was liberated by the Americans. For his actions in Kalamata he was awarded the Victoria Cross. He returned to New Zealand after the war and had a career in the hospitality business. He died on 28th June 1997.
