Image title
He stood awaiting orders'. Illustration showing Jack Cornwall (John Travers Cornwell VC (8 January 1900 - 2 June 1916). A naval rating, who at the age of 16 was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, for his gallantry at the Battle of Jutland. Although severely wounded, he managed to stand back up, and despite the entire gun crew around him dead or wounded, he remained standing at his post for more than 15 minutes until HMS Chester retired from the action with only one main gun still working. He later died in hospital.
