SiegeGunner Posted 12 April , 2007 Share Posted 12 April , 2007 Great sketch, Soren. Talking of sketches, this site claims that the picture of Jack Cornwell published in the Daily Sketch, on which your drawing is evidently based, was not of Jack but of his brother George, hurriedly kitted out in a naval uniform and with a 'Lancaster' rather than a 'Chester' cap tally: http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/cornwell.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted 12 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2007 I was wondering about that, also if you look at the photograph in my link, the boy there looks slightlt different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 12 April , 2007 Share Posted 12 April , 2007 The person in the Daily Sketch pic is clearly younger and more boyish than the person in the other pics (presumably the real Jack Cornwell), who is more of a 'young man'. Never mind, Soren — it's a cracking drawing of George Cornwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted 12 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2007 Does anyone have a good scan of the real Jack? I'd appreciate it! passchendaelle@yahoo.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
