VCs of the First World War: 1914 EPUB
by Gerald Gliddon
EPUB
Description
During the opening four months of the First World War no fewer than forty-six soldiers from the British and Commonwealth armies were awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest award for gallantry.
In a series of biographies, Gerald Gliddon examines the men and the dramatic events that led to the award of this most coveted of medals and explores the post-war experiences of those who survived.
These men, ordinary soldiers from widely differing social backgrounds, acted with valour above and beyond the call of duty.
Their stories and experiences offer a fresh perspective on the opening stages of the 'war to end wars'.
