A man whose WWII pilot father shot him in the head as a one-year-old has successfully campaigned for his late dad to get a $2,000 memorial plaque.
The plate for WWII fighter pilot Robert Bungey, who took his own life shortly after shooting his baby son Richard, was granted by Holdfast council in Adelaide, South Australia.
Councillor and family friend Rosemary Clancy opposed the plaque because she did not want to commemorate someone who had perpetrated domestic violence.
