Brian Drummond is an ex-Gunner with 23 years’ service who achieved the rank and appointment of WO1 (RSM) and has a passion for regimental history, especially to the brave men who were awarded the Victoria Cross for their acts of bravery. He has endeavoured to give the reader a detailed insight into the life of each recipient.

Ubique, The 62 Victoria Crosses of the Royal Regiment of Artillery is a series of six books, covering the lives and extraordinary exploits of all the Victoria Cross recipients of the regiment that fought in the wars from 1853 (Crimean War: October 1853–March 1856) up to when Patrick Porteous VC, the last VC Gunner, earned the Cross at Dieppe in 1942.

Part Four - For Valour in the Second Boer War brings together the life stories of a very varied group of nine officers and men. Each story will give the reader essential information on their birth, early life, enlistment in HM Queen Victoria’s armed forces, the individuals act of bravery, how being awarded the VC effects their lives up to their death along with details of their burial location. And finally, the current location of their Victoria Cross and campaign medals.
