May 1969 ‘BR’ (Transcript in the Ricketts VC Lummis File, National Army Museum, London.) Extract from 'The Trail of the Caribou – The R. Nfld R. 1914 – 1918 by Major Robert Tait MC, Nfld Publishing Co. Inc., Boston, Mass 1933 "Here Ricketts won immortal fame And added lustre to the name Of Newfoundland. This but a lad, Who scarcely sixteen summers had, Mere youth in years, but man at heart, Was called to play a hero's part. Did hero prove? The King's V.C., The highest crown for gallantry, Was his award, and our proud boast- This fisher lad from northern coast." |
