Character History:
Jacob was born on October 4th 1919 to a rich family and lived in Merthyr for most of his life. He has 5 brothers and 2 sisters. His father was a foreman at the local coal mine so he was paid well. His mother was a normal house wife who looked after him. He was the second oldest of his of his brothers and sisters. His brother only two years older joined the army when he was twenty one.
He went to a private school but the classes were not large so he got a lot of attention. He got a good education and enjoyed school on the hole. He always wanted to become a doctor but when his older brother went in to the army it changed his mind.
Whenever he could he would take his father’s rifle and go out to the forest and practice shooting the bark of a tree. His father would become very angry at him because he wanted him to become a doctor. He proved to his father that he had a talent by taking him out with him and shooting a can of a branch with ease.
At the age of eighteen Jacob left school and carried on practicing shooting getting further and further away each time. When he was 19 his brother joined the army and that same year he heard that he had been killed. One year later he joined the army to follow in his brothers footsteps.
He quickly rose in the ranks. It was obvious from the beginning that he had talent. He quickly became a sergeant and took command of some men. He showed that he was an accomplished commander.
He was than drafted -------- devision and they were sent to fight in Krakow. He was commanding well when he saw a German about shoot his commanding Officer so he grabbed the nearest rifle and shot the German clean through the head he was recognized and was given a medal.
Military Rank:
sergeant-staff sergeant
Writing Sample:
Jacob was hurting. He was in a trench with a few privates but they were useless. He and his men were all but surrounded and they had to wait another hour for reinforcements.
“You three” He called to his privates “watch the back I got the front”.
He had been shot in the shoulder and scarlet blood was flowing down his chest. He could fell the searing pain and it nearly drove him insane. The bullets started firing above his head again. Jacob raised his trusty rifle and shot at the Germans he only needed one shot and he shot a German clean through the head. He had done this a few times and he Germans had learnt to duck when they saw his rifle. The bullets ceased for a few seconds then started again.
“Get down you idiots”, his privates had stood up and started firing.
It was too late one of his private’s fell to the floor with a clean shot through the head.He grabbed his radio.
“When are those reinforcement getting here” he asked into his radio.
“Ten minute’s” was the answer he got.
Jacob grabbed his dead private’s machine gun and fire a few rounds towards the Germans. Time past quickly ad before he knew it the Germans were being killed by his men. He got out of the trench and ran to the awaiting convoy truck with his two private’s behind him. He got in and as they were driving away he mourned the deaths of some great men who died on that battle field.
