Commander Loftus Jones was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his supreme courage and leadership when horrifically injured 110 years ago, at the end of May 1916, which will be commemorated again this year. 

Local historian Bill Gosney tells Mike Waddington about the story and HMS Shark and the plaque outside St Peter’s in the Square.
