William Hudson: Photographs

  • BCA - 2024.7924

  • 1916

Frank received these pictures of the graffiti on the roof of Kings Lynn library in 2018 from someone at the library. Work was being done on the library and the men saw the writing/graffiti cut into the stonework and photographed it. A lady at the library did some research and found out William Hudson and Aubrey Cato came from Bampton and she found Frank. Frank had no idea at all his father (known to all in Bampton as Bill) had ever been to Norfolk or that he’d been there on fire and Zeppelin watch on the roof of Kings Lynn library. His friend Aubrey Cato was on the roof with him and his initials are all cut into the stone.Both went on to Flanders. Their immediate superior found them huddled in a fox hole together and ordered one to get out, as one only to a hole was allowed for safety reasons. Bill got out and as he walked away, a shell came over and right into the fox hole where Aubrey was and of course killed him instantly. It wasn’t until after Bill died Frank leant his father had been awarded the Military Medal. Frank was clearing his father’s home in Broad Street and found his father’s Military Medal. In the south chancel of the church in Bampton, there is a wonderful, framed list of every single man from Bampton who fought in WWI. Those with a gold cross by their name were killed, those with a red cross came home injured. Any medals awarded are listed by the names.
