Zulu War: Did this Victoria Cross Hero Fake His Own Death? Captain Cecil D’Arcy VC The Redcoat History Podcast

    • History

Many VC winners have struggled to cope with their sudden fame and our hero today is one of them. He rose through the ranks to command one of the most famous units of the South African Frontier.
He earned a VC fighting the Zulus, served with distinction against the Basothos and then mysteriously disappeared.
Today’s story is about an incredible man - but one who remains an enigma.
A special thanks to my friend Cam Simpson who researched and co-wrote this epsiode.
His books can be found here - https://amzn.to/3TmTXGt
