"Civil decorations and lifesaving awards at the National Museum & Galleries of Wales". Commemorating extraordinary gallantry shown at sea and on land, in fires, earthquakes and industrial disasters. This fascinating picture book recounts the events behind the awards, stories of astonishing courage shown by men, women and even children as they risked - and sometimes lost - their own lives to help 'those in peril'. Alongside these stories the history of the British civil awards system emerges, including the Royal Humane Society, the RNLI and royal medals: the collection includes ten Albert Medals, five Edward Medals and three George Medals. This book brings to life one of the Museum's most captivating, and poignant, collections.
