EU CUSTOMERS BE AWARE - due to prohibitive new regulations, we have been forced to suspend shipping to EU countries indefinitely. Any orders from EU countries will be cancelled and refunded. We apologise for any disappointment. All digital products are still available.

US CUSTOMERS BE AWARE - as of 26/08/25, new tariffs have thrown shipping to the US into confusion, especially for small vendors. We are still trying to navigate this new state of affairs and work out how it will affect us. We are still accepting orders from US customers, but these may be subject to additional charges, or possibly even cancellation (in which case a full refund would, of course, be issued). Please bear this in mind before placing any orders. We will contact customers by separate email to discuss the status of any orders.

The Victoria Cross is Britain’s highest military award for gallantry. Awarded for “most conspicuous bravery or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour of self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy”, just 1,355 men have received this medal since 1856; a fifth of the number of people who have reached the summit of Everest.

‘Valour’, the second album from Forlorn Hope, explores fifteen stories of the VC, from the Crimea to the Second World War; stories of sacrifice, determination and derring do on land, sea and in the air. It is a saga in equal parts thrilling, horrific and heartbreaking, that explores not just the exploits of these extraordinary men, but the myriad and diverse conflicts in which they fought.

This five-track EP is the first of three parts that make up ‘Valour’.

The CD is presented in a lavish digipak featuring original artwork by Mitchell Nolte.

Track listing: 1 - The Fusilier 2 - Down in Flames 3 - Ulysses, 1915 4 - Greater Love Hath No Man 5 - The Last Ride
