Pte. Arthur Page
British Army 4th Btn. Middlesex Regiment
from:London
Arthur Page, along with his wife, were family friends. They didn't have any children. Arthur used to talk to me about the war when I was a young man. I now know he left a lot of the bad things out and having read the history of the Middlesex Regiment on this website I now have a greater understanding of just what they went through.
I have his medals and also his brother's who was in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps along with his death plaque that was always on their sideboard highly polished in tribute.
Arthur arrived in France on the 14th of August 1914. I believe he was under age at the time. Arthur never stopped being a soldier always upright, his shoes polished, even the vegetables in his garden stood to attention in straight lines.
Arthur and his wife Nellie retired to Devon where he passed away in 1969
They were great men!
