Question

How did the commander of the troops on the Birkenhead handle the terrible situations?

Answer 1

When the ship sank there were few people who were still struggling for their lives by holding onto the wreckage. The commander of the troop was also holding to the wreckage. When he saw two young soldiers drowning into the sea, he pushed the wreckage towards them. All of them held onto it. Later the commander realized that the wreckage wasn't strong enough to hold all three of them so he with bravery, courage, chivalry and loyalty withdrew himself and sank into the sea saving the lives of two young soldiers.
