Print on Demand. This book offers an intimate insight into the life of Cecil Hopkinson, recounted from the loving perspective of his mother and others who shared his journey, such as his sister, Mrs John Hopkinson, and Professor B. Hopkinson. Cecil's story unfolds as a chronicle of his extraordinary life, beginning with his birth in 1891, through to his untimely passing in 1916. The author skillfully weaves together the threads of Cecil's personal experiences and his passion for science. Faced with the tragic loss of his father and three siblings in an alpine accident, the young Cecil displayed remarkable fortitude and resilience. His journey through St Paul's School and Trinity College, Cambridge, showcases his academic brilliance. Beyond the halls of academia, the author highlights Cecil's adventures in ski racing, sailing, and his love for exploring nature. The book's poignant account of his military service during the Great War is a testament to his unwavering bravery and compassionate leadership. Through his letters, readers can delve into Cecil's thoughts, fears, and aspirations during those tumultuous times. This book not only paints a vivid portrait of Cecil Hopkinson but through his story, readers gain a glimpse into the broader social and historical context of the Edwardian era. By delving into Cecil's experiences, they can appreciate the profound impact of the First World War on a generation of young men. Moreover, this book serves as a moving tribute to the exceptional life of an extraordinary individual. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

- Childrens Fiction
When an Alpine accident deprived him of his father, two of his sisters and a brother, he was seven years old, too young to realise, in an ordinary way, the tragedy. The gloom thus caused was irksome and unnatural to him, and it was by way of a protest against it as well as to give expression to an irrepressible pleasure that, in a long silence during the lunch after the funeral, he exclaimed in his loud, childish voice to his sister: I say Nelly, isn't this pudding nice? But that he did appreciate what the loss meant to his mother was unmistakably shown by the messages which he wrote on pages torn from his little notebook, and passed to her during the homeward journey. The story of these missives is told in what she has written about him. They were the greatest comfort that any human being could give and were brought with a happy, natural simplicity, without any special demonstration. He always liked to have a note book and tried to use it methodically, though he was never a tidy boy. When his scientific propensities were developing and he started collecting butterflies, the entry appeared in one of his books: Saw two brimstones to-day, a he and a she. Another, when he was not more than nine or ten years old, reads: This book belongs to R. C. Hopkinson, - not him but his brother is. This was some years before the brother had become a Fellow. The child had a profound and enduring admiration for his brother. Once, when the mother was commenting with vexation on the dirty, untidy state of the room set aside as her eldest son's laboratory, Cecil stopped her by saying: Let me remind you that Bertie has done very good work in this room!
