Vaudry, Arthur Papworth (Lincolnshire regiment)


On the Schoolhistory Forum , March 24th, 2004 :

" This morning, at my home, there was 2 english couples, coming from the Fens
 One of their uncles, Arthur Papworth, was killed in Vaudry on August 1944 ; he is buried in the village cemetery (no in a war cemetery), and the local authority pays a gardener to flower the tomb. At this moment, it is all in yellow, with daffodils, one of the colours of his regiment. The local school is named after him".

"His life : a beautiful memory
His death, a silent grief"
