General titles British Gallantry Awards
Originally published in 1970 this hardback book remains one of the defi nitive works on British Gallantry medals and a perfect partner for British Battles and Medals. Its 300+ pages detail all gallantry awards (with the exception of the latest awards like the Conspicuous Gallantry
Cross) found in the British and Dominion honours systems (listing them somewhat unusually in alphabetical order rather than order of precedence), giving the origin and development of the award as well as the regulations regarding its award and wear.
Price: £30.00 (+£5.00 p&p, Europe/World surface £5.00, Airmail £8.00)
Lifeboat Gallantry
This is a record of valiant deeds by those who have risked their own lives to rescue others from the sea. Since the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was founded on March 4, 1824, over 2,400 medals have been awarded for gallantry. This book contains the fi rst complete listing of all such awards, together
with details of the various incidents involved.
Price £10.00 (+£5.00 p&p, Europe/World surface £7.00, Airmail £9.00)
Awarded For Valour
The Victoria Cross: the highest standard of valour. The exploits of its winners are the stuff of legend. But why was it instituted? What factors came together during the Crimean War to create this award? Since its inception 1,356 have been awarded, but the circumstances of warfare have changed and with them the very concept of heroism has evolved. Awarded for Valour traces the evolution of this concept from its origins on the fi elds before Sevastopol, across the dashing campaigns of imperial expansion and defence, where the concept of heroism was a curious combination of the romantic and the pragmatic (all held in place with a stiff upper lip) and into the cauldron of the First World War, from which a very different concept of heroism arose.

Medals and Jewels of British Freemasonry
This is the fi rst ever general book on British Masonic medals. Previous books on this extensive subject have been limited in scope as they referred to specifi c collections and listed only medals and jewels in those collections. The aim of this book is to
present a user-friendly list of British Masonic medals and jewels, which enables a collector to organise a collection to the best advantage and at the same time show which medals and jewels are available.
Price £39.95 (+£5.00 p&p, Europe/World surface £5.00, Airmail £8.00)
The Martini-Henry Notebook
An excellent new book on one of history’s most famous rifl es. Undoubtedly much of British military history would have been very different had it not been for the part played by the Martini-Henry and this book takes a look at why that is. A fascinating read, particularly for those with an interest in
the colonial wars of the 19th century.
Price £30.00 (+£5.00 p&p, Europe/World surface £5.00, Airmail £10.00)
