The Book of the Victoria Cross #266258

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.
