Belleville’s municipal staff are reviewing a resident’s request to add another name to the city’s Second World War monument in Memorial Park.
In a May 25 letter to council, resident Don Kellaway requests the name of his first cousin, naval reserve veteran Clarence Truman Buker, be added to the monument.
After many delays, a memorial for Canada’s last Victoria Cross recipient, Lt Robert Hampton Gray, has been installed at the British Columbia Aviation Museum in Sidney.
