HIS COPY:
The story of a young journalist's devotion to duty when at the point of death was told at an inquest at Greenwich recently on James Harvey Dale, aged 16, a junior reporter on the South Eastern Herald,
Dale was riding from Woolwich to Greenwich, when he was thrown off his bicycle, and fell under a motor lorry. He died shortly afterwards.
The editor of the paper said that after receiving his injuries, and while in an agony of pain, Dale took out of his pocket a parcel of copy" and gave it to a man to take to the office, saying it was very important.
This observed the editor, was the spirit which on the battlefield would win the Victoria Cross."
