Lieutenant Commander Robert Rankin, of the Royal
Australian Navy, died heroically in combat while in command of his
sloop HMAS Yarra. Despite giving his life in circumstances similar to
others - who have been deservedly recognized with the highest award
of the Victoria Cross - Rankin has not been given such recognition.
Indeed, the RAN has never won a Victoria Cross.
This website is the centre of the Rankin VC
Association, formed by those who are campaigning for the posthumous
award of the Victoria Cross for this brave officer.

Cross for Robert Rankin
