War memorial desecrated again
William Swain, Barnstaple Road, Harold Hill, writes:
To my dismay and that of several others of my generation, the Harold Hill War Memorial has yet again been desecrated.
Wreaths have been scattered about all over the place and little mementoes that were laid at the memorial on Remembrance Sunday by young children have been stolen.
Unfortunately, those honoured dead who made that noble sacrifice so that we can live in peace and freedom has not relevance for meaning for those vandals and ingrates.
As far as they are concerned, it is other times, other customs.
