“Mark Green is to be congratulated for this brilliant compilation of the 29 Victoria Crosses from the Burma Campaign, 9 from members of the British Army and 20 from the Indian Army, of whom 9 were from the 10 Regiments of Gurkhas. Their stories are ones of uncompromising sacrifice and courage in some of the fiercest fighting of the Second World War. In the words of Pericles, these men knew their duty, and did it. Green has carefully recounted the context in which these men were awarded the greatest of all British and imperial awards, many of them doing so posthumously. They must never be forgotten.”

TESTIMONIALS
“A third VC related book from the author and another great read with plenty of detail about the VC and the VC action. So important that we remember all those that gave so much and this book certainly helps us learn more about these remarkable men, their gallantry and their particular theatre of war.”
“Well written , very detailed and full of excellent backstories on the recipients. Battalion and battle details are second to none. A very fitting tribute to these brave and courageous men.”
“The author should be congratulated for capturing both the essence of the Burma Campaign (“The Forgotten War”) of 1942-1945, as well as the stories of the 29 recipients of the Victoria Cross for their parts in the conflict. The author covers all key events of the campaign in part one of the book, then tells the individual stories of the acts of valour in part two. The stories are truly astonishing to read, and make you want to turn to the next page…..great reference for any student of this particular conflict or the history of the VC”
