D Day soldier wants more attention for memorial sites
After his New Years award of an OBE, war veteran Hector Duff says he will be continuing to battle but this time to give the Island's sites of war memorial greater attention.
Mr Duff, who already had the British Empire Medal, has been recognised for his tireless work in talking to school children about his wartime experiences.
He was in the second wave of soldiers who came ashore on the D Day beaches in Normandy.
Mr Duff says he's distressed about the lack of attention being given to the seventeen war memorials around the Island and to the National Memorial in St Johns:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
