Sydney Cawsey was 13 year and nine months old when he worked as a cook on a merchant navy vessel during World War One.
The boat, which was mastered by his father John, would transport troops from Devon to Guernsey.
But, on March 1917, the young boy and his father were both killed when the boat was brutally shelled by a German submarine.
