Valour – The Victoria Cross & The Lincolnshire Regiment
Ten Men, Ten Stories, One Regiment

This landmark book tells the true stories of the ten Victoria Crosses awarded to men of the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment and its predecessors. Spanning almost a century of conflict, from the Indian Mutiny of 1857 to the final days of the Second World War in 1944, it reveals extraordinary moments of courage in some of the most brutal battles in British Army history.

With a foreword by Lord Ashcroft, custodian of the world’s largest Victoria Cross collection, and meticulously researched by veteran, photographer and historian Matt Limb, this book honours the men behind Britain’s highest award for gallantry. It is more than regimental history; it is an intimate portrait of bravery, sacrifice and the spirit that bound these soldiers together.

Moving and inspiring, this illustrated volume brings rare photographs, colour images and compelling narrative together in a lasting tribute. Plus, it ensures that the legacy of these ten remarkable men, their courage, their sacrifice and their stories – will be remembered by today’s readers and passed on to future generations.

We Will Remember – World War Two Veterans

‘Sadly, no one knows how many World War Two veterans are alive today …’

The veterans in this book served in the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force plus the ATS.   They all joined after the outbreak of war, they all wanted to do something for their country, at a time in our history referred to by Winston Churchill as – Our Darkest Hour.

Highland Ponies in Glen Prosen

‘ … it was an experience that will last in my memory for many years …’

It was a photoshoot that photographer & writer Matt Limb had long wanted to undertake. To be in the Scottish Highlands with a ghillie, deer stalking.  But not just any ghillie.  This ghillie had to work traditionally, using trained Highland Ponies to bring the stags and hinds off the hill.

The Cranwell Bloodhounds

‘ … Hunting with bloodhounds is one of the best-kept secrets in the British countryside …’

This book came about by pure coincidence after Matt was watching The Cranwell Bloodhounds in the show ring at the Peterborough Festival of Hunting when he enquired if they would be willing to allow him to photograph them out hunting during the coming season.  In just a few weeks Matt made it to his first-ever bloodhound’s meet on a bright summer’s afternoon, as he watched the bloodhounds chase their quarry, which is a cross country runner.
