Captain John MacGregor, VC, MC and Bar, DCM, ED, spent his post-war years avoiding the fame that comes with a Victoria Cross. Ordered to accept the VC, as a very shy man, ‘Jock’ felt he was only doing his duty. His son, James A. Macgregor continued in his footsteps in the Second World War. A rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber, becoming a Pathfinder. Nicknamed ‘Lucky’ for surviving the worst position in air conflict.

This the story of Canada’s most decorated father and son combo. True heroes, in two world conflicts. Both, suffered personal anguish from their experiences, harboring guilt from what they had to do, and flashbacks (PTSD) from what they had seen. These were truly honorable men, the likes of which are extremely rare, especially today, and need to be remembered.
