French Girl Cares For
Grave of Ben Churchill
1VIrs. B. W. Churchill, It. R. 2,
Clinton, read an interesting letter
she received from a young French
woman, who had been taking care
of the grave of her son, Ben, who
was killed in action during the Nor-
mandy campaign in 1944, to the
rnembers of S.S. No. 4 Goderich
Township Community Club at the
regular meeting, held Wednesday,
July 11, at the bonne of Mrs. M.
Jones.
The letter is as follows:
"I am glad to know that %you re-
ceived my little letter. I am writing
you these few lines from Folkestone,
England, where I am presently stay-
ing until the middle of July. My
mother sent .Inc back your letter and
I got it this morning. I am so pleas-
ed: to know that you are a little
comforted thinking that sonnebody
goes and visits your son's grave. I
expect to go to the cemetery when
I go back hone in July.
I should be very pleased to hear
from you again and if you tell me
about Ben and send me a picture of
him, if you have one, I shall feel
that I go on the grave of one very
known friend. Vire have certainly
seen your dear son, because his regi-
ment, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles,
stationed in our village for about a
fortnight before the great battle of
Carfiquet where a lot of these boys
were killed on the '!th and 6th of
July, 1944.
"Our parents, one of rye sisters
and two of our brothers were refug
ed at this time, with three other girls
and some other people in two cellars'
in a big (rouse not very far from our
own house in the same village. The
garden of the house was full of sol-
(Mers and also the horse in the day-
time. We used to aft down with rhe
soldiers on a stalecase in front of the
house, when there were not too many
shells. \
"Ore day F remember we were
sitting as usual with some of our
soldier friends when ene of them
called:. a boy who was in the house
and he shouted 'Hello Churchill', i
asked to joke to one of the soldiers,
and thinking of Mr. Winston Ohur-
ehill, I see you have also Churchill
with you, and he answered me, 'ides,
we have got also Churchill with us'
end I remembered this name one day
going to the cemetery to visit some
friend's graves, Just in front of Inc,
I saw on one of the little white
crosses the name of Churchill and
from the name of R.W.R. and date
of his death," Iwas sure that it was
the same boy, and I was so sorry
to see that he was, him also, killed
that I asked to adopt his grave. Yon
can be sure, dear friend, that Ben's
grave well never be :forgotten as we
can never forget our dean Canadian
friends, who gave their lives far aur
freedom.•
"Since 110no nearly "h •ee years I
used to go, with my sister and
friends, as •often as we can to the
cemetery and put some flowers en '
the grave. Ben is not very far from ing
Orli house, and .Oarfignet, vvhere the ern
battle was so dreadful, is only at ass
about two miles from our village. ori
"As for we, dear friend, 'T am wil
now Shirtier years old and not married, los
We were ten children and now wo rga
are nine., one died when he was only
a small baby, Two of my live broth-
ers are married and livinl4 in the

E:ngla)nd to improve, our English. We
need to earn 000 own living now. The
war was very bad fora lot of French
families and life is really to much
expensive now, We - expect to some
back still one more year in England.
