Hidden Chapter in Irish History Revealed,
By Stephen Lane (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Irish Winners of the Victoria Cross (Hardcover)
Only the English are represented more often in the roll of Victoria Cross winners, yet we Irish have managed to forget our contribution to the defense of the British Empire between 1840 and 1945. However this book makes a valuable contribution to the restoration of this aspect of Irish History. Meticulously researched and logically set out, it is an uncomplicated yet thorough summary of all the Irish winners of Britain's highest military award. Whatever the merits or otherwise of Irishmen fighting Russians, Boers Afghans and Zulus, the Irishmen who won their 'Gongs' after volunteering to fight against the rampant German aggressions of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 are above reproach. They are Ireland's forgotten heroes.
