Part of the My TRUE Story collection whereby authors write a fictional account of a true historical figure. This is the story of Jack Cornwell who was a young gunner on the HMS Chester during the sea battle known as the Battle of Jutland in 1916. He won the VC because he stayed at his post to man a huge gun after every other sailor had been killed or seriously injured and despite being injured himself. A moving story of devotion to duty. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
He was only fifteen when he enlisted in the navy without his father's permission. He was only sixteen when he died at Grimsby General Hospital with splinters of steel in his chest. The Battle of Jutland was the biggest sea battle since the Armada. Jack Cornwell was awarded a posthumous Victorian Cross for staying, seriously wounded, at his post on the HMS Chester. This is the tragic true story of one of the youngest heroes of World War I. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
