QUEEN E

THE LAST REQUEST of Private Edward Potts, of the Worcestershire Regiment, to the woman who had been a mother to him since she adopted him as a six-week-old baby, was to ask her sanction and blessing to his engagement to an eighteen-year-old servant girl, Kathleen Canning.

But Potts was killed in action before he could get home to place the ring on the finger of the girl he hoped to marry.

Later in the little house in Wa- terloo Street, Leamington Spe, Warwickshire, grey-haired Mrs. Arnold, who adopted Potts when his mother died, placed the new engagement ring on Kathleen's finger.

Standing by the photograph of her soldier lover, Kathleen wept as the`ring slipped on to her finger. Silently she vowed she would wear it all her life and would never marry,

"I bought the ring for Kathleen and we arranged, this little cere mony when we heard that Ed- ward had been killed," Mrs. Arn- old told a reporter...
