About this book
The Book of the V.C. is a record of the deeds of heroism for which the Victoria Cross has been bestowed, from its institution in 1857 to the present time, compiled from official papers and other authentic sources by A. L. Haydon. The text says the Tsar flung an army into the provinces of the Danube, having picked a quarrel with the Sultan on a matter of dispute between the Greek and Roman Catholic Churches. The text says England and France sank their differences and joined forces against the Russians.
The text describes the Ghurkas in their neat green uniforms and little round caps among the Malays, who abandon the fort and flee precipitately into the jungle. The book includes a list of names, ranks, regiments and places, among others Cockburn, Lieut. H. Z. C., Royal Canadian Dragoons, South Africa 1900, and Coffey, Private W., 34th (Border) R., Crimea 1855.
