JOHN HOGAN V.C. - John Hogan was a cousin to my father (so making him my first cousin once removed) John Hogan became the first person from Oldham to be awarded the Victoria Cross in the First World War. An illustrated talk will explore John`s family history in Heyside and his early army career before describing how the VC was won and how it was reported at the time. The presentation will also describe the different ways the achievement has been celebrated and commemorated from 1914 to the present day.
