Book: Eric Harden VC – RAMC (45RM Commando) My Family’s Story” By Julia Harden

Julia Harden
Many accounts have been written, some incorrectly, about Eric Harden and the action that led to his award of the Victoria Cross (VC). His name is deeply respected – the only Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) ever to be awarded the VC, the only one in the Corps to be so honoured in the Second World War and to date 2010, their last awardee. He is mentioned in many books, and across the Internet, but very little has been accurately recorded about his life and service and nothing of the impact that his death and the award had on his family.

In this book, his daughter Julia shares with us the courage of Eric and Maud, beyond the action in Holland. What began for Julia as a set of notes from being asked to give a talk father, grew into a permanent record which has now been published to complete about her the gaps in history for the next generation of the Harden family and all those interested in the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation.
