Condizione: New. 2001. SB. N & M reprint. Originally published in 1920 as Vol I âThe VC and DSO.â xv + 336pp with 722 illusPublished Price £22 This magnum opus is sub-titled: A Complete Record Of The Recipients Of The Victoria Cross From Its Institution in 1856, To The 29th October, 1920 With Descriptions Of The Deeds And Servi…ces For Which The Award Was Given And With Many Biographical And Other Details.âThis remarkable work has been compiled from official publications - including the London Gazette - and despatches, letters from commanding officers and other contemporary accounts, and from information from private sources. The biographical details are often extensive. General Sir OâMoore Creagh certainly cast his net wide in gathering material, and it is particularly pleasing that he has been able to provide so many photos of the recipients, even the earliest among them. One curious omission concerns Noel Chavasse, the only man to be awarded the VC and Bar during the Great War. The author gives dertails of the second VC but not the first - only to note in the write-up for the Bar that he had been awarded the first VC for gallantry at Guillemont on the Somme in 1916, quoting the London Gazette, but giving no details for that action. At the beginning of the book the warrant instituting the VC is given in full, plus subsequent warrants affecting the award (in 1911, for example, King George V authorised the award to be granted to soldiers of the Indian Army). Although there have been a number of more recent publications covering VCs of the Great War, there is nothing to compare with this book as a record for the first fifty-eight years of the VC, and the work on the 1914-18 awards is a widely used source for later publications. This book is a must for any serious medallist and for anyone with an interest in the story of the highest award for gallantry - the Victoria Cross. There is an index of names.

Condizione: New. 2001. SB.446pp with hundreds of b/w photos 2001 N&MP Reprint of 1924 Original EditionPublished Price £24 The DSO was instituted on 6th September 1886, and the Bar to the Order on 23rd August 1916. This book provides a complete record of the recipients of the DSO from its institution in September 1886 to 31st De…cember 1915, with descriptions of the deeds and services for which the awards was given and with many biographical and other details. It was compiled from official publications (including the London Gazette citations) and despatches, letters from commanding officers and other contemporary accounts, including private sources. There are photos of a large number of the recipients. The book opens with the Statutes of the Order, including the original promulgation and the Statutes promulgated on 1st April 1918 by command of King George V, in which all previous rules and ordinances were âabrogated, cancelled and annulledâ and new rules and regulations governing the Order introduced. The first recipient of the DSO was Queen Victoria. The wording of the citations are included in the biographical details. Finally there is an index of names. This history is a remarkable record and a piece of research of lasting value.

Condizione: New. 2001. SB. 373pp with numerous b/w photos 2001 N&MP Reprint of 1924 Original EditionPublished Price £24 This volume continues the story of the DSO from January 1916 to the middle of 1923, but the layout is different. The first 195 pages are taken up with the appointments and services as gazetted from 1st January… 1916 to the 12th June 1923, including all the awards made during the same period, of Bars to the DSOs. The London Gazette extracts are arranged chronologically. The remainder of the book constitutes an index of names of the recipients of the award, giving biographical details of the recipient with the date of the London Gazette announcing the award, but not the citation. For that information the reader must look back among the London Gazette extracts in the first part of the book.
