This medal is on public display. I was told that Tom Crisp junior (my great grandfather) thought it would be better that the whole family were able to see it rather than just one line, so it's in a museum somewhere. TomViza

As a child my Father took myself and my Two brothers to meet our reletive Tom Crisp junor and was both privilaged and moved by his account of this day in history, he came over as a kind and wonderfull person who's words and accounts have had a lasting affect on myself. I have given on many occasions accounts of ths Herioism and self sacrifice to my children and will soon be taking them to Lowestoft to give them some idea of what his bravery was for.

[edit] first world war
