The Victoria Cross is Britain and the Commonwealth's most
prestigious gallantry medal for courage in the face of the enemy.
It has been bestowed upon 1,355 heroic individuals from all walks
of life since its creation during the Crimean War. Lord Ashcroft,
who has been fascinated with bravery since he was a young boy, now
owns 200 VCs, by far the largest collection of its kind in the
world. Following on from the bestselling Victoria Cross Heroes,
first published in 2006 to mark the 150th anniversary of the award,
Victoria Cross Heroes: Volume II gives extraordinary accounts of
the bravery behind the newest additions to Lord Ashcroft's VC
collection - those decorations purchased in the last decade. With
nearly sixty action-packed stories of courageous soldiers, sailors
and airmen from a range of global conflicts including the Indian
Mutiny of 1857-58, the Second Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 and the
First and Second World Wars, this book is a powerful testament to
the strength of the human spirit and a worthy tribute to the
servicemen who earned the Victoria Cross. Their inspirational deeds
of valour and self-sacrifice should be championed and never
forgotten.
