| It was a jewelled armlet, a family coat of arms. It had been presented |
| to the warrior de Marneys at Agincourt in 1415 by a grateful king and |
| carried into battle by the family sons ever since. |
| |
| All the de Marneys were fighting furies who either conquered or died |
| gloriously. Then came the Second World War, and young Desmond de |
| Marney, the last of the line. He was no hero - he wanted to be a farmer |
| instead of a soldier. How would he learn overnight to be a leader of |
| men, to wear with honour the "hero's badge"? |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| Not many of our stories feature the Battle of Agincourt. Therefore, we |
| thought we'd celebrate the 600th anniversary of that major victory in |
| the autumn of 1415 for King Henry V against the French during the |
| Hundred Years' War. |
| |
| The first handful of pages of this classic from 1965 are almost like a |
| mini-history of British warfare throughout the centuries. Soon we reach |
| World War II and a warrior legacy passed down the ages in the form of |
| an historical artefact - a family coat of arms. |
| |
| Hero's Badge is stirring stuff, I hope you agree. |
