Talk:Thomas Crisp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. (Simon Tailford)
[edit] first world war
is there any reason it says first world war instead of World War I?
[edit] GA Passed
It's an interesting read, and kudos to whoever pulled together all of the sources, inc the London Gazette citations because searching on there a bit of a hassle :/ Heres how it fits against the relevant criteria:
1. It is well written - PASS
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable - PASS - plenty of citations
3. It is broad in its coverage - PASS - covers most of his naval career and post-death press coverage
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy - PASS
5. It is stable - PASS
6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic - PASS - plenty of images, including one of crisp himself - PASS
If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask. Thanks, RHB Talk - Edits 22:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
