The predictions of the war 'being over by Christmas' turned out to
be far from the truth. By January 1915 the British Expeditionary
Force found themselves trapped in the murderous stalemate of trench
warfare. British troops had suffered badly in the early campaigns
and by January 1915 were holding some 30 miles of trench. The year
1915 was to witness some of the bloodiest and bitter battles of the
Great War, including the first blooding at Neuve Chapelle, the
Second Battle of Ypres and the appalling failure of Loos. By the
end of the summer almost 50,000 men of Kitchener's Army had been
killed. This book tells the story of the 67 VC winners from this
period on the Western Front. Each of their stories are different
and 20 medals were awarded posthumously. However, they all have one
thing in common - acts of extraordinary bravery under fire.
