The Ross Branch of the Royal British Legion has installed the publicly funded Falklands Memorial bench on the Market Apron on Sunday, September 30th.

The Ross Gazette ran a campaign last year to help raise funds to pay for the special bench which is in memory of all those local soldiers who died in the Falklands. The commemorative bench will include a memorial plaque dedicated to all those who served in the Falklands including Private Timothy Jenkins, Welsh Guardsman Gareth Griffiths and Welsh Guardsman Colin Parsons.The bench that was situated there before, in memory of a local resident, has been removed to be repaired.See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
