For this week, our learning attention was: Show your understanding of how you can add precise detail that elaborates on the main points by writing about a famous New Zealander of your own choice. We also did a report on a famous New Zealander. Now you're probably asking: " Who are you doing?". I'm going to tell you now. I did Charles Upham because he is a famous commander in WWII and he has been working so hard for 189,000 soldiers! Here is my two... well, three if you count the last one paragraph.
Charles Hazlitt Upham, VC & Bar (21 September 1908 – 22 November 1994) was a New Zealand soldier who was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) twice during the Second World War; in Crete in May 1941, and at Ruweisat Ridge, Egypt, in July 1942.
He was a very brave commander. He is the commander for 189,000 soldiers! He did that from 1940 to 1945. The soldiers really respected Charles Upham and listened to every single word he said and in 1945, they won the war. The soldiers were so thankful that they gave him loads of presents! But sadly, he died in 1994 and he was aged 86.
