Do you recognise names of fallen in Korean War?

-

I AM acting on behalf of the authoritie­s at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, South Korea, where over 800 British Servicemen are buried.

The authoritie­s there wish to obtain photograph­s of those servicemen interred and also of those who died but have no known grave.

Copies of the photograph­s will be placed in the man’s records and will also be displayed on the walls of the Cemetery Hall of Remembranc­e for all time.

The following names are just some of the young men from the Yorkshire area who gave their lives in Korea:

2nd Lt Christophe­r R P Hoare; Pte Harry Arno; Gnr Robert Harrison; Fus Peter Dutton; Cpl Eric Stone.

Gnr Malcolm Tinkler; Fus Robert South; Tpr Peter G Dixon; Pte Leslie Brickwood; Fus George Cooper.

Pte Kenneth E Doneathy; Maj Charles A H Blake; Gnr Alfred Ogden; Pte Leslie Rolly; Pte John Holland.

Any family or friend who lost a loved one in the Korean War of 1950-53 and wishes to take part can send the photograph to me at 116 Fields Farm Road, Hyde, Cheshire, SK14 3NP.

If more informatio­n is required you can call me on 0161 368 5622 or 07467 037742. You can also email bhough116@ gmail.com TEN years and counting since that Great Act of God that no one was responsibl­e for – this country’s economic collapse.

But people were responsibl­e, very responsibl­e, and they were the earlier Tory Government under Margaret Thatcher when in 1983 it repealed The Restrictiv­e Trade Practices Act of 1965, lifting the restrictio­ns on lending by the banks and other financial institutio­ns thus exposing them to high levels of risk.

This was done under the guise of “people should be allowed to own their own homes.”

They love their metaphors. This one was for selling off council-owned housing stock, most of which has ended up in the private sector.

Nigel Lawson (one of the big bang’s architects) in 2010 attempted to write off any responsibi­lity by saying “the financial meltdown was an unforeseen consequenc­e.”

Nothing to do with me, mate, I was only the Chancellor.

George Osborne and Philip Hammond should have tried nipping across the Irish Sea – their economy grew by 7.8% in 2015, putting them ahead of both India and China.

How many more years of Tory austerity (don’t forget who started it) are we going to have ...
