236999 Pte. Arthur Edward William Harrington British Army 14th Reserve Btn. Royal Fusiliers from:Acton, London Arthur Harrington went to France in 1917. He was on the wrong end of the German spring offensive; he didn't speak much about the war but he did mention an overwhelming German push in the last year of the war. He took part in many trench raids with a Captain who offered to take him to South America as a mercenary after the War, but Arthur had seen enough war already. He was part of the Army of Occupation. We still have a small model of Cologne cathedral that he brought back. He was gassed twice and on one occasion he teamed up with a soldier from the Cameron Highlanders to help each other out(one could see and the other was more mobile). They swapped cap badges and we still have the Cameron Highlander's cap badge.
