Bomber Command Memorial

[34053]

At long last, the sacrifices made by the crews of Bomber Command (55,000 young lives lost) is going to be recognised. Yesterday, Westminster City Council approved a permanent memorial to Bomber Command, to be sited in Green Park, London. For more information on the Campaign, please visit:

[First the approval to the 'Sir Keith Park' Memorial and now 'Bomber Command', it is encouraging that the roles paid by the 'forgotten' during World War Two are now being acknowledged].

Not before time, just read "The killing skies" by Simon Read, it was a suicide mission every flight, every flight that was sanctioned by the government.
