J Banning Posted 9 July , 2010 Share Posted 9 July , 2010 I don’t have this book but am looking to buy it. Can some kind soul who has it please let me know the VC recipients that it covers? I am looking for one specifically for something I am working on and want to know if that is the book to get. I think it is but just want confirmation. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Banning Posted 9 July , 2010 Author Share Posted 9 July , 2010 I am after extra info on Hardy Falconer Parsons, 14th Glosters. I have a fair bit on him but always like Gliddon's VC books as they are very good at compiling all the info in one place. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm at work at the moment but I've got the book at home, and I'll check whether anyone else has come back to you when I get home. If they haven't, I'll see what there is on your man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Banning Posted 9 July , 2010 Author Share Posted 9 July , 2010 Many thanks Paul. I only need to know if he is in the book as I am 95% sure I will be buying it anyway. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgranger Posted 9 July , 2010 Share Posted 9 July , 2010 Jeremy No sign of your man in 'Sideshows', I'm afraid. Where did he win his award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Banning Posted 9 July , 2010 Author Share Posted 9 July , 2010 Oh, what a shame. I thought he would have been in there. It was won at a site called The Knoll near Epehy - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy_Falconer_Parsons and http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=123572&st=0&p=1187172&hl=hardy%20falconer%20parsons&fromsearch=1entry1187172 I wonder what book he would be covered in then? Maybe in the 3rd Ypres book as it was around that time? Annoyingly, that is one I don't have (whereas I do have 1914, Western Front 1915, The Somme and Air VCs) Can anyone advise? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgranger Posted 9 July , 2010 Share Posted 9 July , 2010 Jeremy He's in the Cambrai volume, which covers, inter alia, events in 1916 outside the Somme period, and 1917 outside Third Ypres, Arras amd Messines. I have a complete set of the VC volumes for ground warfare - I haven't gor the naval or air VC books - if you've other queries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
