Bust of John Travers Cornwell ïHero of JutlandÍ No.580 by Caledonia China, inscribed ïJohn Travers Cornwell-The Boy Aged 16-Hero Of Jutland Battle-Faithful Unto Death, impressed: ïHMS ChesterÍ on cap band, (Blackness), 108mm high, See Robert Southall, Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty (The First World War through the eyes of the Heraldic China Manufacturers) Milestone Publications, 1982, p.22 John ñJackî Travers Cornwell was born as a third child into a working-class family at Clyde Place, Leyton, Essex (now in Greater London). His parents were Eli and Lily Cornwell. The family later moved to Alverstone Road, East Ham. He joined the Boy Scouts but left school at the age of 14. At the outbreak of the First World War, ex-soldier Eli Cornwell volunteered for service and was fighting in France under Lord Kitchener. The older brother Arthur also served in an infantry regiment in Flanders. In October 1915, Jack Cornwell gave up his job as a delivery boy and enlisted in the Royal Navy, without his fatherÍs permission. He had references from his headmaster and employer. He carried out his basic training at HMS Vivid Keyham Naval Barracks at Plymouth and received further training as a Sight Setter or Gun Layer and became Boy Seaman First Class. On the Easter Monday of 1916, Cornwell left for Rosyth, Scotland to join his assignment in the navy. He was assigned to HMS Chester. Battle of Jutland - HMS Chester On 31 May 1916, the Chester was scouting ahead of the 3rd Battlecruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland when the ship turned to investigate gunfire in the distance. At 17:30 hours, the Chester soon came under intense fire from four Kaiserliche Marine cruisers, each her own size, which had suddenly emerged out of the haze and increasing funnel smoke of the battlefield. The shielded 5.5-inch gun mounting where Cornwell was serving as a sight-setter was affected by at least four nearby hits. The ChesterÍs gun mountings were open backed shields and did not reach the deck. Splinters were thus able to pass under them or enter the open back when shells exploded nearby or behind. All of the gunÍs crew were killed except Cornwell who, although severely wounded, 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 the Chester retired from the action with only one main gun still working. The Chester had received a total of 18 hits, but partial hull armour meant the interior of the ship suffered little serious damage and the ship was never in peril. The situation on deck, however, was dire. Many of the gun crews had lost lower limbs due to splinters passing under the gun shields. British ships report passing the Chester to cheers from limbless wounded gun crew laid out on her deck and smoking cigarettes, only to hear that the same crewmen had died a few hours later from blood loss and shock. After the action, ship medics arrived on deck to find Cornwell the sole survivor at his gun, shards of steel penetrating his chest, looking at the gun sights and still waiting for orders. Being incapable of further action, the Chester was ordered to the port of Immingham. There Cornwell was transferred to Grimsby General Hospital, although he was clearly dying. He died on the morning of 2 June 1916 before his mother could arrive at the hospital. Three months later, Captain Robert Lawson of the Chester described the events to the British Admiralty. Though at first reluctant, the Admiralty eventually decided to recommend Cornwell for a posthumous Victoria Cross and King George V endorsed it. The recommendation for citation from Admiral David Beatty, reads: ñThe instance of devotion to duty by Boy (1st Class) John Travers Cornwell who was mortally wounded early in the action, but nevertheless remained standing alone at a most exposed post, quietly awaiting orders till the end of the action, with the gunÍs crew dead and wounded around him. He was under 16 years old. I regret that he has since died, but I recommend his case for special recognition in justice to his memory and as an acknowledgement of the high example set by him.î Jack Cornwell was initially buried in a common grave (Square 126 Grave 323) in Manor Park Cemetery, London, but his body was exhumed on 29 July 1916 and he was reburied with full military honours also in Manor Park Cemetery Square 55 Grave 13. Jack CornwellÍs father Eli, who died on 25 October 1916 was buried in the same grave on 31 October 1916 having died from bronchitis during home service with the Royal Defence Corps. The epitaph to Jack Cornwell on his grave monument reads, ñIt is not wealth or ancestry but honourable conduct and a noble disposition that maketh men great.î On 16 November 1916, CornwellÍs mother received the Victoria Cross from King George V at Buckingham Palace. Court painter Frank O. Salisbury made a portrait of Cornwell, using his brother Ernest as a model, depicting him standing in his post. The Boy Cornwell Memorial Fund was also established. After that, the rest of the family was effectively forgotten. After Eli CornwellÍs death on 25 October 1916, his stepbrother Arthur Frederick Cornwell was killed in action in France on 29 August 1918. Impoverished Alice Cornwell died at Stepney on 31 October 1919 at 745 Commercial Road in rooms she was forced to take when her sonÍs memorial fund refused financial aid at the age of 48. The two of her children remaining at home were granted £60 a year in a pension from the fund after AliceÍs death, but this proved insufficient and they both emigrated to Canada in the early 1920s. Jack CornwellÍs elder half-sister, also named Alice, loaned JackÍs Victoria Cross to the Imperial War Museum on 27 November 1968. SalisburyÍs portrait of Cornwell hangs in the Anglican church within the Royal NavyÍs Initial Training Establishment HMS Raleigh, perhaps selected as an appropriate place also because the shipÍs Chaplain, The Rev. Cyril Ambrose Walton, was also killed during the action. A Rare Bust of Sailor by Savoy China, inscribed ïHMS LionÍ, on round glazed base, (Macclesfield), 135mm high, (2)
