Charles Upham

Charles Upham served in world war two and got awarded two victoria crosses.

 Charles Upham was born in Setember 21 1908.  He died in November 22 1994 aged 86.

What he did two get the two victoria crosses is that he was very badly injured and he keeped on trying to stay alive and didn't give up on his team mates.

 Lots of people inspired him from New Zealand and from all of the army and he was a great solider at world war two.

It was sad to hear when Charles Upham died to his family and to the army and to people he was close to when he was in the army.

*Why have I chosen this person:
because he is a great solider and i have a book all about him.

*Why do I consider them inspirational
because I am a person who likes the army because my dad is in the army and I have shot real guns before and trained on something the recruits train on.
