<p>A Formidable Hero is a true account of a young Canadian transformed by war. He quickly develops from a jovial but pensive student to an outstanding aggressive pilot and leader, whose natural ability makes him revered among his peers. It is no surprise that at the end of the story he has won the prestigious Victoria Cross, although posthumously, and is the last Canadian to die in combat during World War Two. Here now ,the fascinating final chapter of the story of Hammy Gray is recounted in superb detail, as friends, survivors and bereaved families of both sides of the Battle of Onagawa meet on August 9th 1989, the 44th anniversary of Gray's death at Onagawa Bay Japan. In a unique ceremony, a monument is dedicated to Gray, and located nearby is the Japanese memorial honouring those who died at Onagawa for their country.</p>
