In the years since the award was created by Queen Victoria during the Crimean War, twenty-eight New Zealanders have won the Victoria Cross for some signal act of valour or devotion to their country.
This book tells the story of these men, and the deeds for which they were awarded the V.C. No one can fail to marvel at the courage and endurance of these men, and wonder at the spirit which impelled and supported them in their deeds.
Their exploits are part of New Zealand's heritage and it is fitting that they should now be recorded in one volume as part of New Zealand's history.
