Book Returned to Cumbria School Library 113 Years Overdue
In the News
This might seem like a case of someone either being selfish or just forgetful at first , but as you read further on it becomes tragic
Leonard Ewbank borrowed a Lord Byron poetry collection from the local library in 1911
He then enlisted to fight in the first world war in 1915 , but tragically was shot and killed in february 1916 and the book was never returned
Fast forward 113 years and someone found the book and returned it to St Bees School library in Cumbria
I think he should be honoured for the part he played and they should do something special with the book, possibly put it on display at the library
Can you think of an apt way to honour this war hero ?
