A 101-year-old decorated WW2 veteran was given his last medal - at his funeral. Eddie Palmer was just 15 when he joined the Royal Navy in 1938 as a sailor and trained as an electrician specialising in torpedoes.
The year was 1915. World War I was at its peak in Europe with Great Britain coming up heavy attack from the German forces. The death toll was rising with every passing day and it included hundreds of youngsters who were enlisted in the army specifically for the war. One such army recruit was Harry Lee – a Middlesex cricketer who joined the 13th Battalion, part of the London regiment, and fought in the Battle of Aubers Ridge began on May 9. He was presumed dead in the battle and his parents even held his memorial. However, 15 years later after his ‘death', Lee went on to play his first Test for England when he took the field against South Africa at Johannesburg on February 13, 1931.
