The First VCs

The Moving True Story of First World War Heroes Maurice Dease and Sidney Godley

Mark Ryan
On 23 August 1914 private Stanley Frank Godley and Lieutenant Maurice Dease made a defiant stand against German forces at Nimy railway bridge in the First Battle of Mons, continuing to fight even after being shot. Their dedication saw them become the first two recipients of the Victorian Cross. Using contemporary documents and letters Mark Ryan traces their very different childhoods and fates, building a picture of their extraordinary achievements.
