St. Vaast Post

Richebourg

Pas de Calais, France.

The cemetery lies near the village of Richebourg-l'Avoue which is 9 kilometres north-east of Bethune. From Bethune follow the D.171 toward Armentieres and progress onto the D.166 proceeding into the outskirts of Richebourg. Take a left turning into Rue des Charbonniers for approximately 2 kilometres and the cemetery is on the right hand side.

Richebourg-L'Avoue village remained in British hands from the Autumn of 1914 to the 9th April, 1918, though the front line was within 1.6 kilometres of it. It was recovered in September, 1918. The strong point from which the cemetery was named was in turn named from the hamlet of St. Vaast, between the village of Richebourg-St. Vaast and Goix-Barbee. It stands in an old orchard between two farm buildings, where a trench tramway had its terminus and a Dressing Station was established. It was begun in May, 1915, at the time of the Battle of Festubert, and used by fighting units and Field Ambulances until July, 1917. In April and May, 1918, the Germans buried 90 of their men at the South-East end, and in September and October, 1918, 18 further British dead were buried in Plot V. Eleven Portuguese soldiers buried here in May-July, 1917, have been removed to the Portuguese Military Cemetery. There are now nearly 800, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, a small number are unidentified. Special memorials are erected to three soldiers from the United Kingdom, buried in the cemetery, whose graves cannot now be traced. There are 91 German burials here, 34 being unidentified. The cemetery covers an area of 4,080 square metres and is enclosed by a flint wall.

On 9th August 1916, The Eastbourne Gazette carried this report:

“One of the brave men who fell in the “Great Push” was Private R. (Dick) Fry of Hampden Park. He was educated at Willingdon Church School and previous to joining the Southdown’s was employed at Moffat’s Bazaar, in Seaside Road.
Private Fry formally resided with his sister (Mrs. G. Goldsmith of Hampden Park), who has been the recipient of the accompanying letter from Lieutenant Robinson, which has since been confirmed by official War Office intimation of death.

“Kya Lami, The Greys, Eastbourne, July 1916,
Dear Mrs Goldsmith.

I am very much afraid your brother R. Fry was killed on June 30. I spoke to a man who was quite near to him when he fell and I think there can be no doubt about it. He volunteered to act as my runner during the attack and I hope it may be some small consolation to you to know that he died doing his duty to his King and country like a soldier and a gentleman.
Before I took over the company he was in my platoon (No. 3) and I have many times asked him to accept promotion but he never would, although I know he would have made an excellent N.C.O.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Yours very truly.
Harold C T Robinson.” ”

Prior to the war he was in the employ of Messrs. Reynolds. the distinction conferred upon him was for erecting wire entanglements and cutting German wire in readiness for a raid on the succeeding night, and he was engaged in this work with an officer for four hours, at great risk. As a result of the work the raid was effected with the loss of only a few wounded and none killed. It is understood that his medal will be forwarded to his widow, who resides with her two children at 45, Steyne Street, Bognor. His parents live in Bedford Street, Bognor.”
