Descrizione

2 vols., sm. folio, First Edition, with illustrated titles, and many thousands of photographs and facsimiles in the text; dark red cloth, upper boards lettered in gilt, a fine set in unclipped dustwrapper, the set housed in publisher's pictorial card slip-case. The set comprises Vol. I: 1954-1916; Vol. II: 1917-1982. This monumental work of reference contains over 5000 photographs, recording by date of deed every VC recipient. The entry for each award comprises, typically, photographs of the recipient, headstone or memorial, other relevant memorials, and final resting place. The final resting place details provide (where applicable) accurate location, indicating where headstone or memorial exists; in this way the location of the 300 unmarked graves is also given. In addition there are photographs of representative VC medal groups and a selection of particular recipients, memorials and cemeteries. Numerous appendices contain a gazetteer of resting places, maps of VC-related cemeteries, types of headstone and a wealth of statistical and summary data. The work was privately printed without ISBN. Arguably the most comprehensive and details single work relating to Britain's highest military award. Extremely scarce, especially in this condition. Mulholland & Jordan H52.
