I'm sorry for the sketchy audio everyone! I have a new mic on order and will make sure the quality is much better for the next video! I hope you enjoy this truly remarkable story despite the audio quality!
Thank you so much for bringing James Ward VC's story back to life. Sadly, the homeland of this humbles School Teacher has been all but forgotten. My hope this becomes a gentle reminder.
This reminds me of a very similar story. Flight Sergeant Norman Cyril Jackson, whose Lancaster was attacked by a night fighter, he climbed out onto the wing with a fire extinguisher to put the engine fire out, the night fighter returned and attacked again to which he then fell 20,000 feet to the ground with a damaged parachute. He was also awarded a VC.
Hi Andy! Very true! I think Jackson even made a few escape attempts after was captured too! A well deserved VC! The bravery of these airmen is mind blowing!
Thanks for your comment Malick Fan! I started this channel to share the stories people may not have heard of and it’s great to hear these amazing stories are reaching new people!
Incredible story, for those who dont know it every Victoria Cross is made from a bronze cannon that the British captured off the Russians during the crimean war. Their is only enough bronze left to make about 75 more VCs so they are very careful who to give one to!
This is why i love this channel he tells the stories that you normally won’t find any where than here and not in the amount of detail as these videos by far one of my favorite history channels.
I see potential for a realy good history channel like yarnhub or one of the other realy good ones, keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll gdt to 10k soon.

Extraordinary bravery, I wonder how our twenty somethings would react to a life-challenging situation today?
Amazing and well told story of a real hero!
Thanks Ice Man!
