On Sunday morning the villagers of Newton Bromshold heard
with great regret that L/Bdr. Richard King, R.A., had been
killed in action on the Western Front. The only son of Mr.
and Mrs. Nathaniel King, Rectory Farm, he was 32 years of
age and leaves a widow, his marriage to Miss Molly Tart, of
Motherwell, Lanarkshire, having taken place in 1943. For
many years he was a member of the Parish Church choir and
also of the village Cricket Club. An old boy of Newton-road
Council School. Rushden, he was employed by Bignells, Ltd.,
at the time of enlistment
Hello Ruud,
The information we have is taken from the little village
church, where the memorial is on the wall just inside the
door
As far as I know, there are no relatives in the village
today. We have no photograph of Richard. He is commemorated
on one of the gravestones in the churchyard - his sister I
believe. (see MIs for Newton Bromswold)
Sorry not to be able to help you further
Regards
