James Joseph Magennis was a distinguished Belfast-born sailor and the only recipient of the Victoria Cross from Northern Ireland during World War II. He earned this prestigious military honor for his gallantry in action while serving on HMS XE3 during Operation Struggle in July 1945. His courageous efforts in freeing explosive charges from a midget submarine during an attack on the Japanese cruiser Takao exemplified extraordinary bravery. Magennis's actions not only contributed to the operation's success but also placed him alongside his commanding officer, Lieutenant Ian Edward Fraser, who was similarly honored.
