Ronald Johnson

Although this has no direct link with the Shrivenham Heritage Society, Ron Johnson gave a most interesting talk on the World War Two expedition that became known as 'Arnhem,' in the Memorial Hall, Shrivenham in April 2015. Even though the whole operation was not a military success, it went down in WW2 history as a remarkable event. 

The item in this listing is a card with Ron Johnson pictured on the front in uniform from the period. On the back is a note written by him, describing the return journey to Arnhem on 2 May 2015.

Ron Johnson sadly passed away on 16th November 2023 and a celebration of his life was held at St Andrew's Church, Shrivenham on 8th March 2024. To see a copy of the order of service in PDF format please go HERE.
