Villeret - have i got the right one
I've been reading about the WWI, the town of Villeret was awarded the Crois de Guerre for sheltering Brittish soldiers cut off form their army in August / September 1914. One of those was a private Robert Digby, who was shot along with 3 other soldiers. They were Thorpe, Donohoe and Martin shot 27 may 1916, Digby was shot 30 May 1916 Robert Digby left behind a daughter Helen Dessenne, later adopted by Roberts brother Thomas.

This Villeret is about 8 - 10 miles (13-16km) east of Peronne, 1 mile South of Hargicourt. I would like to write an article about this town and these events. Have I got the right Villeret Gnangarra 15:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

etymology

 * Aisne developed from the ancient settlement of Acinum, from which its name derives.

The dept (like most) is named for a river, and it's uncommon for a river to be named for a settlement (rather than the reverse). Elsewhere the river's name is said to come from Axona. ? —Tamfang (talk) 05:28, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
