HMS Tigris was a T-class submarine :-

"Tigris left Malta on 18 February 1943 to patrol off Naples.

She was last sighted at 0730 on 24 February, 39 miles (63 km) from Capri.

On the morning of 27 February, the German submarine chaser Uj-2210 , escorting a convoy six miles southeast of Capri, made contact with a submarine and carried out three depth charge attacks, the third attack brought oil to the surface and the contact was noted to be stationary.

A fourth attack of fifteen depth charges brought a huge bubble of air up.

On 6 March, Tigris was ordered to Algiers but there was no reply to this signal.

She failed to return to Algiers on 10 March 1943 and was declared overdue on that date"

"BLYTON, A strange spectacle awaits the traveller who enters its church, a spectacle to which kings and presidents have contributed', an impressive display of the flags of the Allies in the First World War.

It began with a mother whose son died in France; she wanted a French flag for the church.

Then the mother of a son who fell in Belgium wished for a Belgium flag.

So it was that the vicar of those sad years set himself the task of collecting the flags of the Allies for his church.

King Albert sent the Belgium flag, and the French president sent the Tricolor.

Admiral Beatty sent an ensign flown at Jutland, and the Viceroy of India, and the Governors of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa sent Empire flags.

The Kings of Italy, Serbia and Rumania responded, and so did the Emperor of Japan, whose country was a friend of Britain then.

The American flag came from President Wilson, and the Portuguese flag came with special affection from the, President of the republic, for it was from Blyton that Sister , Margaret went out to matron the Portuguese hospital in France, when she was decorated with one of Portugal's ancient orders"

Walter Parker VC (20 September 1881 – 28 November 1936) was born in Grantham.

"On the night of 30 April/1 May 1915 at Gaba Tepe, Gallipoli, Turkey, Lance-Corporal Parker, a volunteer stretcher-bearer, went out with a party of NCOs and men to take ammunition, water and medical stores to an isolated trench containing about 40 men and several wounded.

There were no communication trenches leading to the trench, and several men had already been killed in an attempt to reach it.

After crossing an area of about 400 yards swept by machine-gun and rifle fire, Lance-Corporal Parker was alone, the rest of the party having been killed or wounded.

On his arrival he gave assistance to the wounded and when the trench was finally evacuated early the next morning, he helped to remove and attend the casualties, although he himself was seriously wounded"

"The Second Boer War (11 October 1899 – 31 May 1902) was fought between the British Empire and two independent Boer states, the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, over the Empire's influence in South Africa.

The trigger of the war was the discovery of diamonds and gold in the Boer states.

The war is also known as the Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, or South African War.

Initial Boer attacks were successful, and although British reinforcements later reversed these, the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare, until harsh British counter-measures including a scorched earth policy brought the Boers to terms"

"Charles Sharpe was a farmer's boy from Pickworth, near Bourne, Lincolnshire, who ran away from home to join the army at the age of sixteen ...

On 9 May 1915 at Rouges Bancs, France, Corporal Sharpe was in charge of a blocking party sent forward to take a portion of the German trench.

He was the first to reach the enemy's position and using bombs with great effect he himself cleared them out of a trench 50 yards (46 m) long.

By this time all his party had fallen and he was then joined by four other men with whom he attacked the enemy with bombs and captured a further trench 250 yards (230 m) long"

Local signage states "John Hannah was the youngest recipient of the Victoria Cross in the Second World War.

He trained as a wireless operator/air gunner and was posted to 83 Squadron at RAF Scampton. 

On 15 September 1940, he and his crew took part in the Battle of the Barges. This was an operation to disable German barges that were preparing for an invasion of Britain.

Flak struck their aircraft and it quickly caught fire. The navigator and rear gunner bailed out but Hannah stayed aboard, fighting the fire.

The pilot, Clare Connor, brought the very badly damaged aircraft back to Scampton.

Hannah was awarded the VC at just 18 years of age. He had suffered serious burns and never fully recovered. He died in 1947 and was buried in Leicester.

To keep his memory alive at Scampton, the Hannah Rose variety was developed. It grows in a bed on the left as you enter the churchyard"
