A TOKEN TITLE
From the author of HONOUR THE AIR FORCES comes this essential work which
looks at the honours and awards given to the British and Dominion Armies
in WWII .
This incredible book lists, for the first time, the names of over 60,000
recipients of gallantry and distinguished service awards (from the
Orders of Chivalry through the VC to the King's commendation for bravery
but excluding MIDs) made during the Second World War to members of the
British and Dominion Armies (Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Indian,
South African, Burmese and a host of miscellaneous forces), together
with their service number, rank, honours awarded, London Gazette
reference and the theatre of operations for which the award was made.
The book also gives a number of important tables showing the
distribution of awards between the various armies and regiments therein,
this is further broken down to show which armies were awarded which
decorations in which theatre.
Much of this statistical information has never been published before.This hard cased A4 publication is a fascinating book and is essential
for anyone interested in the Second World War.
It is a must have reference work for any collector specialising in
Gallantry awards.
