Excerpt from The Book of the V. C: A Record of the Deeds of Heroism for Which the Victoria Cross Has Been Bestowed, From Its Institutions in 1857, to the Present Time, Compiled From Official Papers and Other Authentic Sources The guns that thundered for their brave lives' loss Are worn hence, for their fame! The men of all the army and the eet, The very bravest of the very brave, Linesman and Lord - these fought with equal feet Firm planted on the grave. The men who, setting light their blood and breath, So they might win a victor's haught renown, Held their steel straight against the face of Death, And frowned his frowning down. And some who climbed the deadly glacis side, For all that steel could stay, or savage shell; And some, whose blood upon the Colours dried Tells if they bore them well.
