Brave British Soldiers And The Victoria Cross; A General Account Of The Regiments And Men Of The British Army, And Stories Of The Brave Deeds Which Wo

By Samuel Orchart Beeton

A hook: Brave British Soldiers And The Victoria Cross opens a storied doorway into empire-wide courage, charting not just deeds, but the character that kept regiments marching through peril. This is more than a military anthology. Beeton's General Account collects vivid portraits of regiments and the ordinary men whose extraordinary acts earned the Prize "For Valour." It blends battlefield deeds analysis with heartfelt portraits, offering both lively storytelling and solid historical context. For Victorian military history enthusiasts, it serves as a bridge between regimental histories and broader war memoirs, inviting readers to follow lineage, courage, and the traditions that shaped Britain's army. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. The volume speaks with human immediacy, balancing anecdote and archival clarity to engage casual readers, serious collectors, and scholars alike. It rewards revisiting-inviting compare-and-contrast with other regimental chronicles while standing as a testament to valor and gallantry that still resonates in modern appreciations of history. For those who relish history buffs' careful detail, regimental awards tradition, and the broader sweep of Victorian Britain, this is essential reading-and a worthy addition to any regimental chronicles collection.
