"
The Medals of Our Fighting Men by Stanley C. Johnson is an illustrated guide to the decorations and awards granted to British and Commonwealth servicemen for bravery and service. Written with clarity and patriotic spirit, the book explains the history, significance, and design of the various medals instituted during the First World War and earlier conflicts. Johnson describes how each medal was earned, the deeds it commemorated, and the symbolism behind its appearance, making the subject accessible both to collectors and to families who wished to understand the honours bestowed upon their loved ones.
Beyond being a catalogue of military awards, the book also serves as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Johnson emphasizes the human stories connected with these decorations, reminding readers that each medal represents acts of endurance, loyalty, and often great personal cost. By combining historical detail with reverence for the men who wore them, The Medals of Our Fighting Men preserves the memory of wartime service and honours the traditions of valour that shaped Britain's military legacy."
