Two men awarded VCs - connections to Kilkeel, Co Down. Neither were awarded their medals for WWII.
By a strange twist the Scott and Hanna families are probably connected.
Robert Scott, VC was born in Haslingden, Lancs. His parents were from Kilkeel and he returned to live there. He served with the Manchester Regiment and is buried in Kilkeel. He got his VC in the Boer War. Scott is listed on different sites as both an Irish VC recipient and an English recipient !!
