When introduced in 1914, the Military Cross filled a large void in
medallic recognition for junior officers--the first men
over-the-top when going into action. Here the author covers a
diverse range of heroic Military Cross actions in exciting detail.
Legendary characters like Albert Jacka feature within, as do the
high-profile solider-poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. The
bravery of many lesser-known but equally gallant recipients are
also explored. From dogfights in the air, to hand-to-hand scraps in
tunnels below the battlefields and everything in between, 'For
Conspicuous Gallantry' tells many stories of individual bravery and
heroism that resulted in the award of the Military Cross.
