Second Lieutenant John Scott Youll VC (6 June 1897 – 27 October 1918) was a British Army officer and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

On 15 June 1918 south west of Asiago, Italy, Second Lieutenant Youll was commanding a patrol which came under heavy enemy fire.

Sending his men back to safety he remained to watch the situation and then, unable to rejoin his company, he reported to a neighbouring unit where he took command of a party of men from different units, holding his position against enemy attack until a machine-gun opened fire behind him.

He rushed and captured the gun, killing most of the team and opened fire, inflicting heavy casualties.

The four faces of the memorial briefly detail his life, Army career and his Victoria Cross citation.
