Antiques road show did a WW1 special. Watch this video. I found it especially touching when the expert almost lost his composure, when speaking of the Joels heroism. You can tell it really effected him.
Good video.

Its great she has a replica, because now she can show it to people.
Or display it next to the photograph in public places, such as the Antiques road show.
Needles to say losing the original VC would be a heart breaking tragedy.
Personally my self, i think i would hand mine to a museum. But it would be a very difficult decision.
