Born in 1915, James left home as a young man in 1938, joining the International Brigade to fight fascism in Spain in the Spanish Civil War, where he tragically lost his life in Aragon in 1938 on the first day of fighting. This year is the 85th<\/sup> anniversary of James\u2019 death and the shield bears the dedication to him – The James Duffy Shield for Best Honey In Show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WBG are very grateful to Joe Little for this shield, which will be displayed at Westbury Arts Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n
