Bench marks brave and leading men of Barry:
A DEDICATION service honouring all Barry merchant seamen and a former chairman of the Royal British Legion Barry branch has been held in Barry.
Merchant Navy Association (Wales) Barry Branch chairman, Jim Greenway said the funding had become available thanks to generous donations from an elderly lady and a sum of money from a member who attended a Dutch merchant navy college and ended up at a nuclear power station in Japan.
Jim said: “The lady wanted the brave men of the merchant navy to be remembered and we thought a bench near the cenotaph would be a good idea.”
