Wilkins, Philip A. History of the Victoria cross. [*]$6. Dutton.
This volume contains an account of “the 520 conspicuous acts of bravery which have called for as many bestowals of the decoration, instituted in 1856 and made retroactive for the Crimean war. These plain tales are accompanied by a remarkably large number (392) of portraits of the recipients; by statutory and narrative appendices; by a table of awards of the cross by branches of the service; and by a personal index.” (Nation.)
