Ruth's researched story about an unsung hero

UNFIT FOR ACTIVE SERVICE
FELIXSTOWE MUSEUM, Sunday July 1st at 11am.

Come and hear the story of local World War 1 hero ERNEST SEAMAN (16/8/1893-29/9/18), who was initially declared `unfit for service` and went on to win both the Victoria Cross and Military Medal for his actions in Tehrand, Belgium on 29th September 1918.
After single handedly  taking twelve German soldiers prisoner, then seizing two machine guns, he was shot, dying just five weeks before the war ended.
His name is on the War Memorial in Felixstowe, Suffolk.   
Local author Ruth Dugdall researched and wrote the story, which will be published in a World War 1 Anthology later this year.
It will be read by local actress and Suffolk Magazine editor Jayne Lindill.
Cost: £2 on the door, includes entry to the museum.
