Tom Scott Book Signing

Acclaimed writer and cartoonist Tom Scott will be in-store signing copies of his new book 'Searching for Charlie'.

Captain Charles Hazlitt Upham is the only combat soldier ever to win the Victoria Cross twice. His acts of bravery in World War II meant he probably deserved six more.

The mystery of how a reserved, modest, slightly built farm valuer from New Zealand, could be so ferocious and fearless in battle has intrigued and fascinated acclaimed writer and illustrator Tom Scott ever since he read about Charles Upham as a schoolboy.

‘Searching for Charlie’ is his epic quest to unravel the “real” Charles Upham.
