High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stanley Elton Hollis VC (September 21, 1912 - February 8, 1972) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. He has the unique distinction of winning the only Victoria Cross awarded on D-Day (June 6, 1944).Stanley Hollis was born in Loftus, North Riding of Yorkshire, England where he lived and attended the local school until 1926 when his parents (Edith and Alfred Hollis) moved to Robin Hood's Bay where Stan worked in his father's fish and chip shop. In 1929, he became an apprentice to a Whitby shipping company to learn to be a Navigation Officer. He made regular voyages to West Africa but in 1930 he fell ill with blackwater fever which ended his merchant navy career.
