stiff upper lip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'demonstration of courage' is the definition.
'stiff upper lip' can be an answer for 'courage' (I have seen 'Calm courage ' mean 'stiff upper lip' so perhaps 'courage' could also mean 'stiff upper lip'). I am unsure of the 'demonstration of' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stiff upper lip that I've seen before include "Calm fortitude" , "Very British stoicism" , "Doggedness" , "British self-restraint" , "that may be under one's nose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
