EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Lance Corporal Rendle VC stands tall and resolute, addressing a crowd of people at Grampound in Cornwall on the 18th of May, 1915.

Dressed proudly in his soldier's uniform, Lance Corporal Rendle VC captures our attention with his powerful words. His voice carries determination and conviction as he declares, "I will willingly go back and fight for these women and children, but why should I fight for you?".
