Whitworth, A: Yorkshire VCs

It's always a pleasure to read books such as this, detailing the heroes who have earned the nation's top military honour, more so here because it deals solely with Yorkshire's Victoria Cross winners from the award's inception to the present day, covering 160 years and the 699 Yorkshire recipients. This excellent work provides as much information as could be found on both the recipient and the action for which the award was earned. - Great War Magazine Eight percent of all Victoria Crosses awarded have gone to soldiers from the Yorkshire - 68 in total - and this book tells each story of heroism.- Northern Echo There are also two servicemen from south Yorkshire awarded VCs during world war two. Has full details of local winners. The Sheffield Star
