Stockport milkman heroic WWII raid
During World War II, James Conway, a 16-year-old milkman from Stockport, joined the Royal Marines and trained for Operation Frankton, a daring raid against German ships in occupied France. His team used canoes to plant mines on enemy vessels, but Conway and his partner were separated after their canoe was damaged; they were captured, refused to betray their comrades, and were executed under Hitler's orders. The mission is credited with surprising German forces, potentially shortening the war, and is commemorated by a memorial and a bronze statue in Stockport.
