Hewitt's History Files
Charismatic and charming . . . You'd have expected nothing less of Anthony Corlick when he dashed to save a girl from drowning in the River Arun at Arundel.
It was 1942, and Corlick, a Canadian by birth, was stationed over here with the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, Canada.
His prompt actions brought him an award from the Royal Humane Society – and a place in family legend.
Now his son, Jim King, has got in touch with the West Sussex Gazette from Canada wanting to know more. Sixty-six years on, he's keen to hear from anyone who remembers the incident.
"I've wondered for some time about that little girl and how her life went," Jim says – a life she owes to his dad.
