pp. xii 211. Arthur Bishop, son of legendary World War I flying ace and Victoria Cross winner “Billy” Bishop, vividly describes the heroic actions which won each VC winner his medal. He sets the battlefield heroics within the larger picture of the war or campaign involved and follows the later lives and career of each winner. Our Bravest and Our Best also covers what happened to the medals themselves-some were stored away, others were simply lost, and another found it’s way into a pawn shop. In one case, a VC was stolen right out of a recipient’s coffin never to be retrieved! Many medals are now on display at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa and various other war museums across the country“
