Can you write a persuasive letter to the government to convince them to award Walter Tull the Military Cross posthumously?
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to convince you into awarding Walter Tull – the first black British officer – the military cross even though he passed away. I think that he deserves this award for his bravery and heroic ness in the First World War. 2nd lieutenant Tull led is men on dangerous missions and died fighting for his country. Just because he was not from a pure European heritage does not mean his bravery and resilience should not be recognised. In conclusion, I hope I have changed your mind and I expect the military cross to be awarded to him.
Walter Tull was a mixed race orphan who grew up in a children’s home. Despite everything he faced when he was young, he developed a passion for football and went on to have a successful military career.
Walter continued to overcome many challenges such as becoming an officer even though at the time, only white British men could be officers. Not long after, Walter developed shell shock, yet still went back to war following his recovery.
In conclusion, Walter Tull was a courageous, determined and loyal member of the British military who was respected by his troops and forever remembered.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing this letter to explain why Walter Tull should get a military cross. He deserved it then and deserves it now. His work for the army was superior. Why has he still not got it after a hundred years?
He was superior because he was the first black officer in the world. He had to fight with infectious diseases spreading about. He was spoken by people with a malicious tone.
He died in the vicious battle of Somme. He was leading his troops the the trench when a bullet hit him. His friend tried to save him.
Dear goverment,
I am writing to convince you to give Walter Tull the Military Cross posthumously. Most of us believe that he should get it because he died with the title of a hero. He died for our country. He died when Britain was just about to win. And we did. Which is why we feel that we should pay him our respect by giving him what he has earned. If you give Walter Tull the Military Cross, then the public will leave you alone. I am sure you have received many letters about this subject.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Government,
I am here to ask you why Walter Tull has not yet received his Military Cross,posthumously. It is an utterly terrible thing to do. And I will be extremely delighted.Meanwhile I still am waiting and waiting and it is just not happening. You have looked into it and still have not found a reason to give it to him. Even if he has saved many and thanks to him ww1 was over a little more smoothly than expected. Still after around 100, he has not yet gotten it!
So please take this into your mind

Dear Government,
I am writing to you because you need to give Walter Tull the Military Cross. He was an amazing hero in the first world war, and he needs to be rewarded for the dangerous things he did to save his men. Not only was he a brave soldier but he was the first black officer, and he has not been given the same cross as all the other officers because of his race. That is now not allowed so what is stopping you from giving it to his descendants? He died saving this country.
Yours Sincerely

Walter Tull – who has been a hero for generations – should get a medal to honour what he did. Walter was one of the bravest soldiers ever known, and still is. He was so brave that – even though he was Black – he became an officer. Leading men into war has shown his courage and we should carry on fighting for him to get the medal he deserves. His family all past away when Tull was very young. He was sent to a childrenβs home. When he started his football carrer Walter had to face racist insults. Help him win the medal!
Dear Sir or madam,
Iβm writing to inform you that hero Walter Tull was recommended for a military cross and has still not received it because of the racial injustice of the 20th century. I was hoping that this letter may enlighten you on his bravery during World War I.
Walter Tull was a professional footballer player and a soldier during World War One. Walter had to give up his career as a footballer to help out in the war, but he then became recognised as the first black officer to lead white soldiers into battle.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Government,
I am here to inform you about Walter Daniel Tull. He was recommended for the military cross but never received it due to him not legally being aloud to be an officer. Tull had fought in the 1st world war from 1814 to 1918. Walter grew up with many siblings a mum – who sadly died soon after birth – and his dad ,who died for a heart attack because he had a heart disease just before Walter turned 7. Walter had a passion for football but late went on to join the army. Thats why he should receive it today!
