Description - Yorkshire VCs by Alan Whitworth
Today the Victoria Cross remains the supreme British award for bravery. It takes precedence over all other awards and decorations. During its 160-year history, since the first of these medals were given for gallantry during the Crimean War in the 1850s, 1,357 have been won, and no less than 69 of them have gone to Yorkshiremen. Alan Whitworth, in this carefully researched and revealing account, describes in graphic detail the exploits and the lives of this elite group of heroes. AUTHOR: Alan Whitworth is a historian and writer who has published many books on aspects of the past in Yorkshire and the North of England including Esk Valley Railway, Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths on the Yorkshire Coast, Aspects of Yorkshire, Yorkshire Windmills and Yorkshire VCs. 40 illustrations
