Today 290910 Myself and Capt Des Williams DCM attended the opening service at L/Cpl Henry "Harry" Weale VC memorial garden. The Shotton Town Council and the strenious efforts of local historian Mr Bill Tilley final have full filled a dream to have some sort of memorial placed in Shotton Deeside to remember a brave man as that of Harry Weale VC

There were many local councillors, Harry's Grandaughters were in attendance also the the 1st Bn Royal Welsh (The Royal Welch Fusiliers) were represented by Billy the Regimental Goat and Goat Major and two Cerimonial Pioneers.

The press cuttings and pics will follow later.
