<strong>Memorial record is put right</strong> - Melton Times

Asfordby's memorial to the heroes of the Second World War was rededicated in a ceremony on Sunday.
The plaque in the village hall was missing seven names of men who had been killed while serving their country but thanks to the keen eyes and memory of Jack Williamson they are now remembered.

Don Tempest, who organised the ceremony, said: "It was a good day and went really well despite the appalling weather. It is important we remember those who died while serving our country."

On the day, representatives from veterans' organisations from the RAF, army and Navy as well as cadets were at the ceremony with a service held by the Rev Philip MacDonald.

The plaque was unveiled by Asfordby veteran Jack Williamson who served as a stoker in the landing craft on D-Day.

He was recently honoured at a celebration in Melton's Royal British Legion club.
