About This Item
Australian War Memorial, 1986-01-01. Second Edition Revised & Condens. Paperback. Very Good. Australian War Memorial, Canberra [Published Date: 1986]. Soft cover, 191 pp. Second edition, revised and condensed. In very good condition. Glossy illustrated paper covers have light bumping to edges and corners and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. Black and white photos throughout. [From back cover] THEY DARED MIGHTILY, originally published in 1963, has long been considered a classic reference work of Australian military history. It contains full biographies of all Australians who have won the Victoria Cross, the supreme decoration for gallantly in battle awarded to Commonwealth forces. Since the bookâs first publication, this famous decoration has been won by four more Australians during the Vietnam war. In this new edition, the stories of these ninety-six men have been completely revised to include the latest research and each entry contains a full account of the action which led to the award. The book contains an introduction on the history of the Victoria Cross itself, and two appendices, one on Victoria Cross winners who did not serve with Australian units but yet had connections with this country, and another on winners of the George Cross. These dramatic stories will arouse both admiration for the courage of these gallant men, and pity for the enormous sacrifice required by war.
