valour
Boldness facing danger
Valour is the British spelling of valor—courage in the face of danger, especially in battle.
The word carries a formal, almost ceremonial tone: medals for valour, acts of valour.
It suggests not just bravery but nobility of spirit, the kind of courage worthy of honor and remembrance.
