So, after sixty odd years there is at last to be some sort of memorial, albeit minus the names. Good news indeed.

One quote from the article hit me very strongly "This is not about glorifying war, it is about honouring sacrifice." Very true.

I agree wholeheartedly with Chugalug2 that we still need a memorial that will have the names, maybe one day that will happen. Hopefully while there are some of the "young men" still alive to see it. The Bicester project would serve not only as a place of Remembrance, but also as a place of education.
