Examining [[List of Victoria Cross recipients by campaign]], there
were 522 before WWI, 626 during WW I, 10 between WWI and WW II, 181 in
WW II, and 13 afterwards. I think we can deal with this. All that is
needed is a sentence with these numbers to put it in perspective.

do we class those recipients as

Seriously, who cares?
These would obviously be of interest to anyone reading the list of
recipients and following links. As long as the target article is
well-written and well-referenced, the average reader who wanders in
from the intarwebs will enjoy the article, rather than screaming "OMG
non-notable, less than 1,750 google-hits!" and demanding that it be
deleted. That sort of behavior I have only seen exhibited by a handful
of our regular "contributors".
