Covering the period January to July 1917, much of this book concentrates on the events of April - the month of the Battle of Arras. By the end of July, a total of 50 Victoria Crosses had been awarded. This text records the life and military career of each of the recipients.

British World War I heroes are celebrated anew in this exciting history of the actions on the Western Front from January to July 1917 in which forty-nine VCs were awarded to British and Commonwealth soldiers, each one of which is recounted in detail.
