China, British casualty of Chinese Civil War of 1949 in Shanghai

First British casualties at Shanghai. Harry Greening, a petty officer from Plymouth, England rode the long ambulance ride from the ship to the Country Hospital at Shanghai. He writhed in pain from shattered knee throughout the ride. Yet, he bravely insisted on being given the details of the communist artillery attack that ensued when the Consort went to the rescue of the beleaguered Amethyst grounded in mid-Yangtze near Chinkiang [Zhenjiang].GrayscaleForman Nitrate Negatives, Box 3
