Remembering St Albans D-Day veteran | Herts Advertiser
Len Davidge. - Credit: Davidge family Tributes have been paid to a 96 year old D-Day veteran and holder of the Legion d’Honneur who lived in St Albans for almost half a century. Leonard John Davidge, known as Len, was born in Eastbourne in 1924, but moved to St Albans as a small child. His father worked in the city as a printer's compositor - perhaps even for the Herts Ad - and Len went to school locally. When he left school he worked as a messenger for a printing company in St Albans, and when the Second World War broke out, Len was anxious to do his bit.
