Remembering Lieutenant William Chard 'Bud' Fairgrieve 1919-1944

As Remembrance Day approaches a number of St. Helen's families are remembering loved ones who gave their lives in the cause of peace and a better world. This year at our Remembrance Sunday service (10am November 10th) we'll hear a personal story from our Rector, The Rev. Scott Gould of his wife's grandfather, Lieutenant William Chard 'Bud' Fairgrieve, who flew missions with a crew of 7 out of York and whose life was tragically lost over Denmark in 1944. 

Hear the interview with Lieutenant Fairgrieve's granddaughter, Suzanne Morgan here.

A wreath in memory of Lieutenant Fairgrieve will be laid at the Altar during the service by his granddaughter Suzanne along with her three children, Chester, Veronica, and Phin.
