Book of the Victoria Cross e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This volume purports to satisfy the want of a handy book of reference of the deeds that have won the Victoria Cross from the date of its institution in 1856 up to the present time, arranged in order of regiments or corps.<br><br>The account of each act of bravery is an extract from the London Gazette of the time, and I have to thank the Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office for his courtesy in allowing me to republish these extracts.<br><br>Every care has been taken in compiling these records. I trust any errors will be excused, and that the book will prove interesting as well as useful.
