I've mentioned on here many times before, my grandfather was killed aged twenty two in Normandy, six months before my mum was born. To her this is the nearest thing she has to a grave for her father, and I applaud the council for this initiative.

Hats off also to Roy and Jean Lockwood, who through the British Legion, are collecting all the names of those from Oswaldtwistle who have died in the various wars, to be inscribed on our war memorial.
