Memorial tribute for Pte Simpson
Published on 19th April 2007 in News
Howden Town Council is continuing its quest to track down the names of Howden residents who have died in service since World War Two.
Following the tragic death in Iraq earlier this year of Howden soldier Luke Simpson, members of Howden Town Council thought it appropriate to trace the names of other Howden residents who have died in service, but so far they have not gained any information.
At Tuesday's meeting, members of the Town Council decided to approach older members of the community for information. They will proceed with placing only Luke Simpson's name on the war memorial if no further names are found.
If you know of any Howden residents who have died in service since World War Two, please contact Liz Charnock, Howden Town Council clerk, on 01430 449836.
