When Alexander Grant was a little boy he hated war but when war time came he had no choice but to go. He was from Auckland, New Zealand. He lived at number 10 Northland Street, Grey Lynn. He had five brothers and five sisters. His dad went to World War 1 and he came back..... just. Alexander went to Grey Lynn School and after that he worked in his dads barber shop for about ten years. He didn’t want to go to war but he had to. It was war time and after he left Auckland he was based in Italy to fight. He was there for two years, his face was always dirty and he hadn’t had a proper shower for a very long time. His uniform was disgusting. One day when he went in to a new town he hadn’t visited before, he was reminded of Grey Lynn. It even looked like Grey Lynn. The stores the school everything. But it was like a ghost town. When he left he wished that he never went there. One day there was a big battle and he got a bullet in his arm. He nearly died but he didn’t. His arm was dripping but he still fought on. He was very brave, so brave he got the Victoria Cross for his bravery. The little boy who hated war was one of New Zealand’s greatest fighters.
