FAWCETT 3-16 PUNJABI REGIMENT. We ask the prayers of all Amplefordians for the repose of the soul of William Fawcett. He left Ampleforth for Sandhurst in 1927, and so was one of those who spent his school days in the memorable period of transition to the House system. He was one of the foundation members of St Oswald's, and he will be remembered by his contemporaries as a quietly capable boy with a mind of his own, playing his full parting everything. His death is all the more tragic as he had survived the war and met his end in a brave attempt to deal with a dangerous situation. He was killed on the 11th October of this year, and his father gives the following account of what happened. "A lot of officers (all, I fancy, Indians except for Bill) were sitting at Mess when a havildar (sergeant), who was in a state of amok, came in, armed with a revolver which he fired at one of the officers against whom he had a grudge, wounding him. Bill went up to him and tried to reason with him. Then the man said : Sahib, if you come nearer, I shoot you.' None the less Bill went nearer. The man fired again, and then turned the revolver on himself. Bill has been recommended for a posthumous George Cross for an act of great gallantry and supreme self-devotion to duty.' The Colonel who wrote the news added : 'There are too few Bill Fawcetts in the world.' " We express our deepest sympathy with his parents and with his wife and two small sons, on their great lost God grant him eternal rest."
