In the same year that this photograph was taken the Evesham Standard (14 August 1948 p.3) ran an article French Scouts at Badsey. A troop of scouts from Verdun visited Badsey and their Scoutmaster Jean Ducasse opened the Badsey Scout Fete held on the vicarage lawn. He invited the Badsey scouts to visit Verdun the following year.

This is an assortment of old photographs from the village of Badsey in Worcestershire.
