re listing of victoria cross i have deleted the section under this heading that read twenty seven years after murphy's death in july the rules for the victoria cross award were changed to exclude forfeiture the eight extant forfeits including that of murphy were then re listed in the victoria cross register the statement is in error and there was no reference to support the statement although similar statements have been made in respect to all the forfeited awards the vc warrant was not changed in july to exclude forfeitures the present vc warrant still contains a forfeiture clause although the wording was modified in since the original warrant in the monarch has had the power to restore a forfeited award but such power has never been exercised the claim that the eight awards were relisted in the victoria cross registrar refers to the war office alphabetical list of victoria cross recipients last issued in the names of the eight recipients who forfeited their awards are listed in that publication but their names were never deleted from earlier lists instead both the list and the list include a note at the end of the list stating that the following 'whose names are included in the previous list forfeited the victoria cross under authority of the royal warrant quoted in each case
