Heart of a dragon

Soldier magazine this month has a review of a book called heart of a dragon by W alister Williams.

"This is a fresh examination of the victoria cross actions and lives of 39 men who were awarded the VC between 1854 and 1902. Not all of them are welshmen, although they were either born in wales, died in wales, had welsh parents or won a VC while serving with a Welsh regiment. Included, of course are the famed defenders of Rorkes Drift. Illustrated, with more then 400 photos and prints, the book is available from Royal Regiment of Wales Museum, Brecon LD3 7EB or swb@rrw.org.uk "

This book was originally published undera different name ' VC's of Wales and its Regiments' or something similar. The author runs a book shop in Wrexham and is happy to autograph the book if you buy it from him.
