 Members
of the Leek Branch were joined by other members
from branches in north Staffordshire on
Wednesday, 24th October, to commemorate the
events of the Battle of El Alamein in 1942. 65
years on, veteran Norman Corden, formerly a
corporal in the Royal Army Service Corps who
helped supply the Eighth Army, laid a wreath at
Leek's Nicholson war Memorial in memory of
fallen comrades. The Homage was read by the
Chairman of the
Leek Branch, Geoff Robinson B.E.M. and Bill Vaughan sounded the Last Post
and Reveille.
