Albert McKenzie VC Memorial Fund
The Albert McKenzie VC Memorial Fund is a UK-based nonprofit organisation established to promote good citizenship and honor the legacy of Albert Edward McKenzie, a recipient of the Victoria Cross. The charity operates under the registered charity number 1154086.
Purpose and Activities
The Fund aims to promote the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by providing and maintaining a public memorial dedicated to Albert McKenzie VC. It also encourages good citizenship among the public through its outreach and awareness initiatives. Fundraising efforts to support these goals include charity nights, placement of charity boxes in pubs and clubs, and soliciting donations from local businesses, community members, and the Royal Navy, notably from HMS Collingwood[1][2][3].
Background
Albert Edward McKenzie was a 19-year-old able seaman in the Royal Navy during World War I, recognized posthumously for gallantry in the Zeebrugge Raid in 1918. His courageous actions during the assault, where he operated a machine gun under severe enemy fire, earned him the Victoria Cross, the highest award for bravery awarded to British and Commonwealth forces[5].
History of the Fund
The Memorial Fund was launched in 2010 and undertook an initial five years of fundraising activities culminating in the establishment of Albert McKenzie's memorial statue located on Tower Bridge Road, London. This statue serves as a public tribute to McKenzie’s valor and sacrifice[4].
Governance
The charity operates in accordance with its governing documents and official registration with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, ensuring compliance with regulations and proper stewardship of funds[2].
This organisation stands as a lasting tribute to a distinguished naval hero while fostering community spirit and support for the armed forces through public engagement and remembrance.
