There is both an interesting model & memorial to Jack [John] Cornwell V.C.s ship H.M.S.Chester in Chester Cathedral. Cornwell's bravery is recorded there along with details of her role at Jutland.

[edit] mergefrom John Traverse Cornwell

I 'merged' a tiny bit of John Traverse Cornwell into this page, as the content of this page seemed superior and the entire text of that page (plus some scanned photos) exists externally on http://www.seacadets.co.uk/vc/cornwell.htm which link I have added to this article. I'm less certain on the issue of the best article title. Anyone care to opine whether it's better with the Traverse in it, or possibly better still as just Jack Cornwell, if that's really how he's best known? Mwanner 15:13, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for redirecting John Travers Cornwell here. The name doesn't particularly matter, as Jack Cornwell also redirects here. -- Arwel 01:50, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Attention tag

Needs wikified, more Scouting info- esp about the medal.Rlevse 11:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

The VC image should be changed as Cornwall's medal has the naval blue ribbon having been awarded before 1918. Albatross2147 09:13, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
