Victoria Crosses on the Western Front - The Final Advance in Flanders and Artois is designed for the battlefield visitor as much as the armchair reader.

It will allow visitors to stand upon the spot, or very close to, where each VC was won. Photographs of the battle sites richly illustrate the accounts.

A host of other information, much of it published for the first time, reveals some fascinating characters, with numerous links to many famous people and events.
