NEW BOOK: NOTTINGHAMSHIRE VICTORIA CROSS HEROES

Here's a new booklet about some Victoria Cross medal heroes. -Editor

Heroic tales of Victoria Cross TWENTY Victoria Cross holders from Notts are commemorated in a new booklet.

A total of 1,300 booklets have been produced for the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Victoria Cross Committee. Some have been sent to families of Victoria Cross holders in this country and abroad.

The rest will be available from libraries, including those at Bingham, Blidworth and Mansfield, or by contacting the committee.

Committee chairman Tony Higton said: "Different people have told these stories before but we have delved into their lives and pulled them together to make sure they are not forgotten."

Mr Higton, along with fellow committee member Ben Percival, of Ernest Smith stonemasons, and county council deputy leader Martin Suthers, unveiled a plaque to one of the soldiers featured in the booklet at St Mary's Church, Church Street, Bingham.

The booklet – paid for by Notts County Council – has been sent to families of VC holders for whom the committee has contacts.
