Sinopsis

A look at the men and the actions that led to the award of 72 VCs on the Western Front in 1915, when, in an effort to break the stalemate, the British embarked on trench warfare and a series of bloody onslaughts against the Germans at Neuve Chapelle, Hill 60 and Loos.

Reseña del editor

The fighting was not over by Christmas as the 1914 slogan had confidently proclaimed, and by the end of that first year of war men of the BEF found themselves trapped in the murderous stalemate of trench warfare. British troops had suffered badly in the early campaigns and by January 1915 were holding some thirty miles of trenches. By the end of the summer almost 50,000 men of Kitchener's Army had been killed. The authors' narrative has been arranged chronologically to tell the stories of the sixty-seven VC-winners serving on the Western Front in 1915. The recipients came from all walks of life and from widely differing racial and social backgrounds. Twenty of them received posthumous awards but those who survived came home to find equally varied fortunes in their post-war lives. The courage, determination and sacrifice of their generation should never be forgotten.
