VCs of the First World War: The Naval VCs by Stephen Snelling

VCs of the First World War: The Naval VCs by Stephen Snelling

The Naval VCs is a complete record of almost fifty men who won the Victoria Cross while serving in the Royal Navy during the First World War. They include the conflict’s youngest and oldest winners in operations ranging from the Atlantic to the coast of Africa and from the Straits of Otranto to the rivers of Mesopotamia. These awards were won aboard all manner of fighting ships, from disguised schooner to light cruiser, from motor launch to submarine and from river steamer to battle cruiser. This book charts the lives and careers of the VC recipients and presents graphic accounts of their award-winning actions based on original material, much of it from eyewitness sources.

Stephen Snelling is a senior journalist with Eastern Counties Newspapers based in Norwich. He has also written several other titles in the VCs of the First World War series: Naval VCs, Air VCs, and Passchendaele. Stephen is a member of the Military Historical Society and the Gallipoli Association.
