How many Catholics won the vc?

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there have been a number of Catholic recipients of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest military honor for gallantry in the UK and Commonwealth. The exact number can vary depending on the criteria used to define "Catholic," but it is estimated that at least 20 individuals who identified as Catholic have been awarded the VC throughout its history. For the most accurate and updated number, it's best to refer to official military records or historical databases.
