The 1956 centenary exhibition of the Victoria Cross at Marlborough House displayed Ackroyd's medals. After the exhibition the medals were given on loan to the Royal Army Medical Corps, although the originals were kept in the bank at Aldershot, replicas were displayed in the VC room at the corps headquarters Millbank, now the Chelsea College of Art and Design. In 1993 Christopher Ackroyd decided once again to take possession of the medals. The medals were handed over to the family in a ceremony on 12 April 1994 at the corps headquarters by the then Director General of Medical Services, Major General Frederick Mayes. They were displayed in the orthopaedic surgery waiting room in Bristol.
