Book, "The Mark Of The Lion"

[Gibbs505]

This book is about the only combat soldier to win two Victoria Crosses'.
The Soldier was Captain Charles Hazlet Upham and the book details his history. He really used the SMLE to great advantage in one harrowing incident outlined in the book. However, in the desert, his favorite weapon was the handgrenade!
One of the most amazing facts is, the fact that he survived the war and only passed away in the nineties!
