The author also provides biographical information on many of the soldiers who received this honour, including their backgrounds, military careers, and personal lives. Overall, ''Our Soldiers And The Victoria Cross'' is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the history of the British Army and the brave men who have served it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
