During its 160-year history since the first medals were given for gallantry during the Crimean War in the 1850s 1 357 of these medals have been won & no less than 69 of them have gone to Yorkshiremen. Alan Whitworth in this carefully researched & revealing account describes in graphic detail the exploits & the lives of this elite group of heroes. Among the roll of the brave whose gallantry & self-sacrifice are celebrated in these pages the reader will find the names & extraordinary deeds of men who were either born or bred or lived & died in Yorkshire. The first was Yorkshire-born Bombardier Thomas Wilkinson in 1857. He set an example that has been followed by generations of Yorkshire soldiers through the conflicts of the late nineteenth century
- among them the Indian Mutiny & the wars in Afghanistan & South Africa
- & then in the twentieth century in the two world wars & more recent operations in the Gulf & Afghanistan.
