8518. Cox, Barry. LIFEBOAT GALLANTRY – R. N. L. I. MEDALS AND HOW THEY WERE WON. London. 1998. 454p. DJ. Just released, imported from England. Since the foundation of the Royal national Lifeboat Institution on 4 March 1824, just over 2,400 medals – gold, silver, and since 1917 bronze – have been awarded for gallantry in saving life from shipwreck. This is the first complete list of all such awards to be published, together of details of the services involved; from acts of individual heroism to the combined efforts of lifeboat crews: hours spent at sea to effect rescues in raging storms: incredible feats of endurance of men rowing and sailing lifeboats before the advent of motor: the dangers of mines and aerial attacks in wartime, and much more. This is not only a book of reference but is also a record of valiant deeds and selfless efforts of those who have risked their own lives to rescue others from the sea. Illustrated with some wonderful photographs, on quality paper. A must for reading and reference. (M). $68.
