ISBN: 0905778332. 264pp/illus. This book tells the stories of the thirty-nine men from the Commonwealth and Empire armies whose bravery on the battlefield was rewarded by the Victoria Cross - the highest military honour - among them the war's first Australian VC, first New Zealand VC and first Royal Marine VC. Although the total is far smaller than the number awarded on the Western Front, it represents the highest number of VCs won in any other theatre of war. Thirteen went to the 'incomparable 29th' who carried out the main landing on 25 April. Six were awarded to a single battalion: 'the six VCs before breakfast' won by the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers. Not only do we learn of the heroic endeavours of those men at the height of battle, but we also read of their lives before the war, and the impact the awards had on their subsequent careers.

During the three and a half month struggle, which claimed the lives of more than 60,000 British and Commonwealth servicemen, 61 men were adjudged to have performed deeds worthy of the Empire's highest military award for valour -- the Victoria Cross. Men from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa were among their number, alongside men from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. They came from all walks of life, counting humble privates and, for the first time, a general among their ranks. They won their awards, often in conditions that beggar belief, as a campaign of grand strategic ambition became bogged down in the Flanders mud. Of those 61 VCs, 15 were posthumous awards.
