Synopsis
Of all the costly campaigns fought across the Western Front during the First World War, none strikes a more chilling chord than Passchendaele. Even now, more than eighty years on, the very mention of the name is enough to conjure up apocalyptic images of desolation and misery on a quite bewildering scale - humanity drowning in a sea of mud. During the three and a half month long struggle, which claimed the lives of more than 60,000 British and Commonwealth servicemen, sixty-one men were adjudged to have performed deeds worthy of the Empire's highest military award for valour - the Victoria Cross. Of those sixty-one VCs, fifteen were posthumous awards, including the Bar to Captain Noel Chavasse, while five other recipients were destined not to survive the war. With the help of eyewitness accounts and many previously unpublished photographs, the author has charted the lives and deeds of this heroic band of men, setting each act of gallantry into the context of the campaign in which it was performed. The VCs of Passchendaele 1917 stands as a lasting memorial to a body of men who deserve to be numbered among the bravest of the brave.
