280pp, introduction, numerous b&w photos & illus., afterword, sources, index. 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. Clean.
