Further Information About EMMS Donald

The birth of Victor Donald Emms is registered in the June Quarter 1918 under the Evesham Registration District.

Evesham Standard, Saturday 1st November 1947:
Bells Dedicated at Littleton
Large Congregation at St Nicholas
There was a packed church at St Nicholas, Middle Littleton, on Wednesday, when the Bishop of Worcester (Dr W. Cash) rededicated five bells and dedicated another recently installed to honour two local men who were killed while serving in the war.
The inscription on this bell read: “World War. 1939-45. Victory Bell. To the Glory of God and those who Served from this Parish, Victor Donald Emms (R.A.F.) William James Halse (Duke of Wellington’s Regiment), who gave their lives.”
The service was conducted by the Vicar, Rev. E.F. Waddy, and the lessons were read by the lay reader, Mr L. R. Smith. A joint choir of South and Middle Littleton church singers led the hymns. A collection amounting to £22 was taken and this will go towards the deficit of £100 on the Bell Fund. On Wednesday evening the bells were tolled by Offenham ringers.

Victor Emms has no known grave, the photograph available shows his name as V.D. Emms on Runnymede Memorial.
