William Anderson
On The Roll of Honour - William Anderson - Kept the Flag Flying
He whom this scroll commemorates was numbered among those who, at the call
of King and Country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced
danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and
self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.
Let those who come after see to it that his name be not forgotten
Pte. William Anderson, Royal Inniskilling

true as the sky, And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf
that shall break it must die. The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but
Cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Remember the Wolf is a hunter, go forth
and get food of thy own. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk,
the law runneth forward and back. For the strength of the Pack is the Troop,
and the strength of the Troop is the Pack. Because of his age and his
cunning, because of his grip and his paw. In all that the Law leaveth
open, the word of the Head Wolf is Law. Now those are the Laws of the
Jungle, and many and mighty are they; But the head and the hoof of the Law,
and the haunch and the hump is Obey!

15 year-old Patrol Leader Terry Malone, of the 2nd Greenisland (Orthopaedic
Hospital) Troop, was awarded the second Cornwall Badge to come to Northern
Ireland in 40 years. Here is the story of the boy after whom the badge was
named.
Standing in the Imperial War Museum is an historic naval gun. Beside this
same gun, on the misty evening of May 31, 1916, Boy John Travers Cornwell
earned the Victoria Cross at the age of 16. The part which John played in
the terrible Battle of Jutland will never be forgotten. His job was to set
the sights of a big gun in the cruiser H.M.S. Chester, which became the
target of three German warships. The British ship was smothered in bursting
shells and within five minutes most of her gun-crews were killed or wounded.
John Cornwell stayed by his disabled gun, although terribly wounded and
exposed to the enemy fire. "He felt he might be needed," said his captain,
"and so he waited with just his own brave heart, and God's help to support
him." The brave boy, who had left an Essex Council School only two
years before, was taken to Grimsby Hospital. Nurses asked him how the battle
had gone, "Oh, we carried on all right," he answered simply. Boy Cornwall,
V.C., knew of our victory and was content. During the 24 hours he remained
alive, he said nothing of his own heroism and his last thoughts were of his
mother who was hurrying to his bedside. Mrs. Cornwall was later presented
with two bronze crosses to mark the bravery of her son. They were the
illustrious V.C., and the Bronze Cross which is the highest Boy Scouts'
award for gallantry. The youngest-ever V.C. was buried with full military
honours, and a general subscription was raised to have his portrait painted.
John Cornwall's memory was also perpetuated by the endowment of beds bearing
his name in many hospitals.

HMT (Hired Military Troopship) Dilwara - In the mid 1930's the British
Government decided to sponsor a quartet of ships to operate as troopers.
Although purpose built as troopers, these ships would also be adaptable to
operate budget cruises. These four ships were purpose built as troop and
passenger ships between Britain and her colonies in the East. However,
although this being this page highlights British India, two of the ships
were not owned by them, although one of them, (Devonshire) would later be
obtained by them. As built the first pair was owned by British India, the
third by P.&O., and the last of the quartet by Bibby Line, and they would
charter them out to the Government for trooping duties when they were not
being used for cruising or educational purposes. The first two ships, MS
Dilwara and Dunera were completed in 1936 and 1937 and the second pair MS
Ettrick and Devonshire in 1938, whilst they also varied slightly in design.
MS Dilwara and her engines were built by Barclay Curie & Company in Glasgow,
Scotland and she was launched and named by Lady Curie on October 17, 1935.
Having been completed she undertook her deep sea trails in January 1936.
HMS Dilwara took part in HRH King George VI's Coronation Review. In April
1941 she took part in the evacuation from Greece, and in 1942 she was
converted to an infantry landing ship. The HMS Dilwara was also
involved in the Madagascar landings, whilst in 1943 she took part in the
assaults on the Burma coast where she was damaged by a mine, but survived
and the damage was soon repaired. 1952 Refit: Thankfully the Dilwara
came out of the war without any major damage and in 1952 it was decided to
give her a comprehensive refit and she was to be well and truly modernised.
Thus she headed for the Clyde where the work was carried out. Upon
completion she was reregistered at 12,555-GRT and now accommodated 125
First, 96 Second and 104 Third Class, as well as a lesser number of troops
of 705 in a new grade of accommodations.
