Charles George Bonner VC, DSC (29 December 1884 – 7 February 1951) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
The lieutenant was in the thick of the fighting and throughout the whole of the action his pluck and determination had a considerable influence on the crew.
His ashes were buried in St Mary's Churchyard, Aldridge, his birthplace, in the West Midlands.
[citation needed] In November 2007, a commemorative plaque to Captain Bonner was unveiled in Aldridge, where his life, bravery and achievements are specifically celebrated in the annual Remembrance Day parade.
In December 2009, a memorial plaque to Bonner and two other recipients of the Victoria Cross, James Thompson and John Henry Carless, was unveiled at the Town Hall in Walsall, England.
