Searching for Charlie: Tom Scott

Charles Upham is a bona fide Kiwi hero – twice awarded the Victoria Cross his courage under fire is legendary, and whilst he was of a previous generation, the story is as extraordinary and fascinating today as it was back then.

Tom Scott – another national treasure – went in Charlie’s footsteps to understand the man, the soldier and the rugged individualism which set him apart and he’s written a masterpiece. In many ways it’s a book within a book, and it’s captivating.
