Paperback, 293 pages, many b/w images. The real Henry Hook was a working man and a son of Gloucestershire who became famous after joining the 24th Regiment of Foot (South Wales Borderers) and winning the V.C. at Rorke’s Drift. He also won an entry in Who’s Who and at his death he was given a funeral fit for a field-marshal through the streets of Gloucester. His portrayal as a lying, thieving hard-drinking cockney in the film “ZULU” (1963) made him famous or infamous to a new generation. Now read the real story of a true ‘Soldier of Gloucestershire’.
