- Mr Hall, tell us something about yourself.
- Hello everyone, thank you for having me!
- Well, I was born April 28th, 1827. In Wolfville a town in Scotia, Canada.
- I have several siblings and both of my parents where slaves
- And what is that exactly?

- The Victoria Cross is the highest and most prestigious award of the British honours system and It is awarded for valour to members of the British Armed Forces.
- So, what are some accomplishments you achieved throughout your lifetime that you are proud of?
- I think that the greatest accomplishment that I have ever received was The Victoria Cross.
- The Guy with a suit show
- I myself, quite literally rose up from nothing. At first, I was a farmer, then a slave and now a hero.
- Very honourable indeed! So, what do you think you have contributed to society?
- The thing that I wanted to contribute or rather tell society, that anything is possible, if you put your mind to it. It's not how you start, but how you finished.

- After the Crimean War, I was assigned to the receiving ship HMS Victory at Portsmouth, England And I joined the crew of HMS Shannon as Captain of the Foretop. It was the service with Shannon that led to me receiving the Cross of Victoria. Shannon, under Captain William Peel, was escorting troops to China, ready for the expected conflict, And mutiny broke out between the sepoys in India and I also was apart of this conflict
- So what are some struggles you have encountered along the way to where you are now
- That's very understandable and I personally think that this idea should be more recognised and be taken more seriously.
