Memorial Unveiled To WWI VC Recipient 100 Years On
A memorial stone has been unveiled to a First World War recipient of the Victoria Cross, a century after the award was made.
Captain Jack Sinton was a doctor in the British Indian Army during the conflict.
He was awarded a Victoria Cross for conspicuous bravery while on duty in Mesopotamia in January 1916.
Although injured, Captain Sinton refused to go to hospital and instead remained on the battlefield rescuing casualties under heavy fire.
The stone was unveiled in Northern Ireland, where he lived for the majority of his life.
