The story follows Eric Harden, a British Army medic and the only rank and file member of the Royal Army Medical Corps to receive the Victoria Cross for his extraordinary bravery during World War II. Initially a member of St John Ambulance, he served during the Blitz before volunteering for the Commandos. Landing on D-Day, he faced intense combat in Normandy and ultimately lost his life while heroically rescuing wounded soldiers in a fierce battle at the Dutch-German border, earning him a posthumous acknowledgment of his valor.

The landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 25 April 1915 represented the greatest amphibious operation carried out during the course of the First World War.

The first full-length study devoted entirely to the SS River Clyde and the men who sailed in her in the spring of 1915.

During the 3 1/2 month long struggle, which claimed the lives of more than 60,000 British and Commonwealth servicemen, 61 men were adjudged to have performed deeds worthy of the Empire's highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross.
