 Standing
Alone
by Jim Eldridge
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, and a moving insight into the devastating effects
of war on ordinary families.
