Publisher's Synopsis
There were many acts of great heroism and sacrifice performed during the First World War, but few eclipsed the story of this sixteen year old boy whose devotion to duty and selfless courage should never be forgotten. Although this is a novel the majority of people were real including the medical staff at Hull hospital and those that Jack engaged with during his time in the Royal Navy. The description of the Battle of Jutland is based on HMS Chester's ships log. His funeral was researched from contemporary news reports which were numerous.
