I haven't got the book nor have I seen it in the shops. Peter Duckers has written a number of books on medals so this may be an updated compendium. Sorry I can't comment further without reading the book. Peter |

Thanks for replying. With not being very knowledgeable about this subject, I'm not sure if my giving a review of it will help, as there are likely to be better books. The only other title I've considered lately is - The Complete Victoria Cross. by Kevin Brazier. It is released this year. Coll |

Kevin Brazier will be speaking about his VC book today at the National Army Museum, copies will also be available for anybody attending the AZW forum on the 10 April.

I note there is to be a new book shortly on the Distinguished Conduct Medal - I just wonder how new authors can improve on the research done and published on Gallantry Awards by Peter Abbott and John Tamplin. It is difficult to understand how someone can entitle a book 'The Complete....' without putting in a lifetime of research. We see myths about the holders of the VC being repeated from book to book because the author does not have the time to undertake the raw research.

My military medals book appears to be somewhat delayed, but I wondered if anyone purchased the above-mentioned VC book at the event ?
