During the attack a plane had been brought down and for this the credit went to Ordinary Seaman Teddy Sheean. Teddy died, but none of us who survived, I am sure, will ever forget his gallant deed. When the order 'Abandon ship' was given, he made for the side, only to be hit twice by the bullets of an attacking Zero. None of us will ever know what made him do it, but he went back to his gun, strapped himself in, and brought down a Jap plane, still firing as he disappeared beneath the waves.

IF I remember correctly, he shot down a BETTY bomber with an onboard, pedestal-mounted, water-cooled Heavy MG..

This is yet another reason why I’m against royalty. According to the article Sheean was in the past not recommended for his richly deserved Victoria Cross. Yet Prince Charles walks around with a cartoon amount of medals and braid.
