Ghanaian War Hero Shocked Prince Harry Sent Him A Letter
World War II veteran, Private Joseph Hammond, has been thrown into the world of ecstasy after receiving a complimentary letter from Prince Harry of the British Royal family.
The letter came after Private Joseph Hammond, 95, set a charity walk mission for himself to raise funds for frontline workers in the coronavirus fight and has so far raised £35,054, an equivalent of GH¢254,166.
The war hero was inspired by Captain Tom Moore, who raised more than £30million for the UK health service amidst the pandemic.
Prince Harry, who met Private Hammond at a ceremony last year, has praised the veteran’s mission in a letter he personally wrote to him.
Reacting to the letter in a video clip, the war hero reads an extract and says "Wow, it is marvellous."
He gives a thumbs up and says "this is a surprise for me, the Queen's own palace. I will show it to my niece."
Private Hammond aims to raise £500,000 through his Just Giving page.
Like hundreds of thousands of Africans, he fought for Britain in the Second World War.
