When introduced in 1914, the Military Cross filled a large void in medallic recognition for junior officers—the first men over-the-top when going into action. Here the author covers a diverse range of heroic Military Cross actions in exciting detail. Legendary characters like Albert Jacka feature within, as do the high-profile solider-poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. The bravery of many lesser-known but equally gallant recipients are also explored. From dogfights in the air, to hand-to-hand scraps in tunnels below the battlefields and everything in between, ‘For Conspicuous Gallantry’ tells many stories of individual bravery and heroism that resulted in the award of the Military Cross.
