The Victoria Cross, Britain’s supreme award for gallantry, is a medal which has not only been associated with supreme heroism and self-sacrifice but has also seen mystery, drama, controversy, tragedy, theft, and misinformation ever since its inception by Queen Victoria in 1856.
In its history, it has been awarded 1,358 times across all ranks and services. It is the only medal which can be awarded posthumously.
This lavish special edition will be both text and illustration heavy, the publication being packed full of fascinating detail regarding the VC, its history, conflicts where it has been won, how it is made, unusual stories relating to the medal and individual stories of VC heroism.
