THE JOHN CORNWELL, V C NATIONAL MEMORIAL
This charity is no longer on the register, removed on 13 August 2010. A removal is usually a charity that wound up, merged, or fell below the income threshold, and is not in itself a finding against anyone — but an appeal still quoting this number today is quoting a charity the Commission no longer registers.

What it does
The original funds of the Trust were raised as a memorial to John (Jack) Travers Cornwell VC. A posthumous VC was awarded to John Cornwell, a 16 year-old boy sailor aboard HMS Chester at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Charity Commission schemes in 1924 and 1928 established that the object of the Charity should be the provision of cottage homes for disabled and infirm sailors and their families.
In the charity's own words, as filed with the Commission.
