About The Book
As Canada came into its own as a nation during the First World War, proving itself capable of standing alongside Britain on the world stage, scores of Canadians were awarded the Commonwealth’s highest award for gallantry, the Victoria Cross. For Valour details every Canadian VC recipient from the First World War. These men, ordinary soldiers from widely differing social backgrounds, acted with valour above and beyond the call of duty. Their stories and experiences offer a fresh perspective on the “war to end all wars.” In a series of biographies, series editor Gerald Gliddon and contributors Stephen Snelling, Peter F. Batchelor, Christopher Matson, and Peter G. Cooksley examine the men and the dramatic events that led to the granting of this most prized of medals. Each of their stories are different, however, they all have one thing in common — acts of extraordinary bravery under fire.
