Major Charles Heaphy VC (1820-1881) was a New Zealander explorer and a recipient of the Victoria Cross. He was just seventeen-years-old when he was appointed as resident artist and surveyor to the first New Zealand Company expedition to New Zealand. In 1848, he was appointed gold fields commissioner at Coromandel. In 1859, he joined the Armed Constabulary as a volunteer. In 1865, he was appointed Chief Surveyor for Auckland and in 1867 elected to the House of Representatives for Parnell. In 1878, he was appointed as a judge of the Native Land Court. Charles Heaphy was an accomplished artist and his watercolours are an important record of many scenes in the early days of European settlement in New Zealand. His works include Narrative of a Residence in Various Parts of New Zealand (1842).

Even by the versatile standards of Victorian pioneers, Charles Heaphy had an unusually varied career: as a draughtsman, explorer, surveyor, gold agent, geologist, soldier, war hero, politician, land commissioner and judge. Most importantly, however, for decades Heaphy painted and sketched what he saw. From his earliest surviving watercolour of birdlife in the Marlborough Sounds in August 1839 to his last known sketch, drawn on the back of an envelope, showing Maori witnesses at a hearing of the Native Land Court in Palmerston North in December 1879, Charles Heaphy's art is a remarkable visual diary of life in settler New Zealand. His work has been an inspiration to New Zealand painters from Colin McCahon to Saskia Leek. In this engaging book, Heaphy, richly illustrated with Heaphy's remarkable paintings and drawings as well as photographs and maps from the period, Iain Sharp tells the story of Heaphy's life - from exploring with Thomas Brunner to winning the Victoria Cross in the New Zealand Wars - and his art. Sharp depicts a man capable of being mercenary and self-serving, but also filled with restlessness and a pervasive sense of wonder about the opportunities in New Zealand.

This fully revised paperback edition of the complete chronological record of VC holders is an essential work of reference for every student of military history. All the British and Commonwealth servicemen who have been awarded the highest honour for exceptional acts of bravery and self-sacrifice are commemorated here. The first VCs awarded for the Crimean War and in the nineteenth-century colonial wars are described, as are the VCs awarded in the world wars of the twentieth century and the most recent VCs awarded during present-day conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The extraordinary exploits recounted in this fascinating book make unforgettable reading.
