Credit line
The "VC" range of beers were produced by the Hawera Brewery Company to commemorate Taranaki's two Victoria Cross winners from World War I, John Gildroy Grant and Harry John Laurent. During the 1920s the celebrated pair were also asked to plant trees in several parks and they each had a Hawera street named in their honour.
