Corporal ArthurHenryCross VC, MM, was a long time member of the Machine Gun Corps Old Comrades' Association and when he died in 1965 the MGC / OCA arranged his funeral and adherred to his wish that his burial would be a simple affair.
ArthurCross was invested with his Victoria Cross by King George V at Buckingham Palace on the 4th September 1918.
In the 1950's ArthurCross loaned his Victoria Cross to the actor David Niven to wear during the filming of "Carrington VC", a British film made at Pinewood Studios, England.
Arthur is an important cultural figure in early Celtic sources, and various portrayals of King Arthur exist - as leader, warrior, chieftain, hero and champion against the invading Anglo-Saxons, to name a few.
Little was heard of Arthur after that date, and it is significant that, after 542, youths of noble and royal birth began to bear the name Arthur.
Arthur was a known figure in Welsh medieval tradition, for example in the Old Welsh poem "Preiddeu Annwfn" (The Spoils of Annwfn"), the tale of Culhwch, or the epic tale of Math son of Mathonwy, in the fourth branch of the Mabinogi.
