This complete chronological record of the Victoria Crosses awarded
to British and Commonwealth soldiers during the Anglo-Zulu and Boer
wars is an essential work of reference for everyone with a special
interest in these major conflicts in southern Africa fought at the
height of the British empire. The British army was severely tested
in its battles against the Zulu kingdom and the Boer states, and
the 107 Victoria Crosses that were awarded testify to the intensity
of the fighting and the bravery and self-sacrifice of the soldiers
concerned. The book celebrates their extraordinary exploits in
action at famous locations like Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift,
Ladysmith, Colenso and Mafeking where, under fire, they had to draw
on exceptional reserves of courage. Each entry gives the name and
rank of the VC holder and the date and location of the action in
which the VC was earned. The episodes themselves are described, in
vivid detail. Information is also provided on the subsequent career
of the VC recipients, the location of their medals and their place
of burial.
