Lt Joshua Woodhouse A Mother's Experience of Military Justice | Polly Woodhouse
This is the explosive story of Lt Joshua Woodhouse, a young, highly successful officer, who died in suspicious circumstances whilst serving his country on board HMS Ocean in August, 2010. At the time of his death, HMS Ocean was berthed in the Unites States naval base, Mayport in Jacksonville, Florida.At the very time of the incident, a US Navy warship, the USS Mitscher was sailing past and three of her crew were eye witnesses to his fateful fall.The Royal Navy SIB Military Police, instead of investigating the possibility of foul play, refused to interview these three independent US Navy witnesses as part of their criminal investigation. Instead, on receipt of these witness statements the SIB created a brand new unsubstantiated account.The book recounts how the Royal British Legion took on this suspicious military death and brought together an outstanding legal team. This team resolutely fought the combined might of the Coroner, the MOD, the Royal Navy Military Police, and the Royal Navy who did all in their power to cover up this inconvenient death. The book culminates with the proceedings of the Inquest where the mask slips and the real motives of the MOD and Coroner are exposed.This is the resolution of a mother's determined fight to see her son's story told.
