"George Cross Heroes" pays tribute to the extraordinary courage
displayed by so many of the commonwealth's men and women in so many
incredible situations over the last 70 years. In a broadcast to the
nation in September 1940 King George VI announced the institution
of the George Cross--a civilian equivalent of the Victoria Cross
awarded to recognize the many acts of supreme gallantry being
performed outside of the battlefield. From Thomas Alderson, the
first recipient of the medal, who heroically rescued several people
from trapped houses during one terrible Blitz night, to Lance
Corporal Matthew Croucher, who threw himself onto a live grenade in
the Helmand province to save the lives of his comrades (and somehow
survived), to Barbara Harrison, an air stewardess who died in 1968
after helping many passengers escape from an onboard fire, this
book tells the amazing stories of everyone of the George Cross's
159 direct recipients.
