Arthur Victor Richardson

16th Bn. Welsh Regiment

27/8/1917

Panel 93 & 94 Tyne Cot Memorial

 

Arthur Richardson died at Langemarck and after his death my grandmother moved to Australia with their two daughters one of whom was my mother. My grandmother subsequently married an Australian. I do not know a lot about my grandfather but do know that he managed or worked in a bicycle shop in Cambridge and was obviously something of a showman! Had he not died, I would never have lived as my grandmother would probably not have moved to Australia so I very much honour his sacrifice and have this photo on proud display in my home.

I have very little knowledge of my grandfather's forebears or those of my grandmother, Winifred Elsie Ivy Richardson (nee Perry). I would be very interested to know more if there is anyone out there who can enlighten me.
