Legion d'Honneur Medal
Newent Remembrance Service
The Legion d’Honneur is the highest medal awarded by the French government. It was originally instituted by Napolean Bonaparte himself and has been retained ever since and many of these were awarded to servicemen who took part in the D Day Landings in World War 2.
Sunday 11th November 2018 - 10am. The Remembrance Service at St Mary’s Church in Newent will be a very special service this year.
We have at least two recipients of this medal in Newent and we are proud to present a brief sketch of two of them.
As part of Newent’s tribute to those who fell and continuing the very important Remember Them’ theme, the service will also include a powerful reminder which will bring home to us all how it must have felt at the time.
The Legion d’Honneur Medal
Victor Urch
Melford (Melf) Jones
Victor was born in Portishead, Bristol where he lived for the formative part of his life. He originally joined the local ATC but ended up joining the Royal Navy.
Melford was born in Hartpury but lived most of his life in Newent where he attended the then Newent Grammar School.
As to his service he joined Royal Navy in 1943 at the age of 18. Whilst there he joined the ‘Training School’ in Scotland where training for amphibious landings took place. This led to him taking part in the Normandy Landings. He piloted a landing craft under severe fire, ferrying Canadian soldiers from ship to shore, onto JUNO Beach during the D Day landings. Bear in mind he would have been only 19 at this time. He recorded his thoughts whilst waiting to cross the Channel on D Day which are very telling "We all wondered what was to be our fortune, so many unknowns, our future, and those of millions of others in the hands of the few”. It was for Victor's service on D Day and thereafter that he was awarded the Legion d’Honneur by the French Government.
He entered World War 2 by volunteering for RAF Aircrew in 1942 but on failing the Morse Aptitude test became a driver instead. After further training he also became part of the invasion of Europe, crossing to France on Bastille Day just after D Day and spending much of his time, amongst other duties, fetching and carrying for Field Marshall Montgomery's Headquarters as it moved from the coast eastwards through France to Belgium. For his service Melford was also awarded the Legion d’Honneur by the French Government however he sadly passed away recently.
This year young men, who would be about the age many men went to war at the time, will be taking part in the parade and attending the service each wearing a T Shirt with a name of one of those from Newent and district who perished in the war. The young men's presence at the service is intended to invoke the thought that if this conflict were today, these would be the young men that would be the ones going off to war and for us to wonder, as families did then, whether or not they would return. This emotive event will help Newent to Remember Them'.
Newent & District British Legion Centenary Concert - Coming Home Friday 23rd November 2018 at 7:30pm. The concert is being held at the Community School and is being held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1 and is also part of Newent’s tribute to those who fell. The concert is entitled “Coming Home” and, in a slight departure, will also ask us to commemorate in particular those who returned as well. The glittering programme will include, amongst others, Newent Orchestra, Newent Scottish Singers, Newent Community Choir, The King’s Shilling and poetry by local poets including Chris Barber. As this is a centenary it will not be repeated in our lifetime and with such a delightful lineup the concert should not be missed. Tickets are still available from most local shops and from the Newent Branch Secretary at newent.secretary@rbl.community or 07771 811759

Beryl Goodland A resident of Gorsley, Beryl, has a life story that would pique the interest of most with her experiences as an internee in China in the second World War and for which she has recently been awarded the ‘International Prisoners of War’ medal. Beryl’s story fits in well with the British Legion's Newent Branch theme for the Remembrance this year - Coming Home. Although an internee at the age of 11, she can still recount in great detail her experience at the internment camp at Weihsien, which was generally regarded as one of the largest in China at the time. Briefly it was in 1941, just after Pearl Harbour, that the Japanese soldiers evicted the whole school from the Chinese International School at Chefoo where they staying. They took over the school to use a headquarters at the same time declared all of it was the property of the Japanese Emperor, including all the children and staff !! The children and staff were moved around and after a subsequent ship and train journey they were taken to the Weihsien Internment Camp where they remained and endured difficult times until the camp was liberated.
Beryl has received the award in recognition for the time she spent as a child in Weihsien Internment Camp in China during WW2 and I doubt many of us are aware of the significance of this medal nor of the significance of the ribbons attached (see photograph).
Edited by Colin Thomas
played Finlandia for him. He was regarded throughout the camp as “everyone’s friend”. Unfortunately at the moment space dictates I am unable to expand on this however I am hoping to do so in the near future to show how inspiring the whole episode is.
On the obverse side of the medal is a strand of Barbed Wire entrapping a young bird, symbolic of freedom and bearing the inscription ‘ International Prisoners of War’. On the reverse side is inscribed a barb of wire symbollically divided into four elements bearing the words ‘Intrepid Against All Adversity’. The ribbon is centred by a strand of barbed wire and the colours going out from the centre signify : black for despair, white either side representing the second and third fences of the compound, green reminiscent of the fields of home and finally the red is symbolic of the burning faith of those interned.

The second photograph is showing Beryl wearing the dressing gown made by her mum from the parachutes of the American soldiers who liberated the camp.

3. International Prisoners of War Medal
The Olympic athlete Eric Liddell was an internee at this camp and Beryl came across him on many occasions. Eric was more famously known as the “Man who would not run on Sundays at the Olympics”. During his time at the camp he was a very busy man organising sports and classes for the children and did a great deal to keep up the spirits of the internees. When he died, unfortunately 4 months before the camp was liberated, at his request their ‘band’
