Summary
There are many books about Great War heroes. Relatively few are written about survivors, and even fewer detail their whole lives or the wider context of their service. In this approach to the Great War, Richard Cullen takes the reader through history, led by the medals of five who served, each decorated for distinguished service. This book explores wide-ranging political and military contexts, the personal side of their lives in war and peace, and the untold contributions that they made.

Critics Review
“The depth of detail goes beyond the battlefield to describe the social and political worlds in which they lived and served… . There is much to learn and upon which to reflect. Readers will certainly be better informed. They may also feel their own emotions touched by the lives and fate of the five, and regret that such lives, representative of many others, have remained unknown and undervalued for so long. This is an unusual book, but it is well worth reading.” * Pennant: The Journal of the Forces Pension Society *
Richard Cullen
Richard Cullen caught the collecting bug as a young schoolboy while spending hours rummaging around junk shops. This included books about armies and battles, spawning a lifelong interest in military history. After forty years of international consulting work, he began to research the recipients of medals in his own collection and years of writing technical reports made way for crafting stories about them. Richard lives in Oxford where he is a member of a writers’ group and he also produces the Journal on behalf of the Orders & Medals Research Society.
