Todger
Thomas Jones VC, DCM, 1st Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment
Even by Victoria Cross standards the exploits of Thomas Jones, V.C., D.C.M., known as 'Todger', are exceptional. In his mid-30s, and vastly experienced, he never rose above the rank of private despite showing exceptional leadership. This book explores his life in detail, including the single-handed capture of over 100 enemy soldiers on the Somme.

Volunteers and Pressed Men
How Britain and its Empire Raised its Forces in Two World Wars
The heroic myth of 20th century British history is that after the fall of France in June 1940 Britain 'stood alone'. This ignores the millions of men and women from around the world who, largely voluntarily, rallied to the British cause. As in 1914-18 Britain in 1939-45 could call on the human and material resources of the world's greatest empire.
