Liverpudlian heroes unnoticed in the crowd
Sep 15 2008 by David Charters, Liverpool Daily Post From glory to destitution, life was often cruel for Liverpool’s bravest of the brave, as a new book about VCs tells us. David Charters reportsHE WAS just a cripple hobbling down the old road in a threadbare coat. "Poor fella," said the few through frosted breath. But most didn’t even notice him in the bustle of the day and he vanished from view, still limping.The trouble is that brave men rarely look like heroes. Movie stars look like heroes. But most people, who are really brave, look like the rest of us, faces lost in the crowd.True valour and the romantic picture of heroism have never had much in common.James Murphy knows that, as can be read in his latest book, which tells of how 23 Liverpudlians received the Victoria Cross for gallantry in various actions from the Crimean War to World War One .........
