LEEDS SUPPORTS NORMANDY MEMORIAL

Nobody could have failed to be moved by the recent coverage of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and the Normandy Campaign. The Normandy Memorial Trust is raising funds for a memorial in Normandy to all those who lost their lives there.

W ith all this in mind, a collection for the Trust was made on the AJEX coach from Leeds to the National Memorial Arboretum for the AJEX Annual Service at the Jewish Military Memorial. A bag was passed round the coach and even the driver made a contribution. A very pleasing total of £196.17 was raised.

I n its handsome “thank you”, the Trust made reference to The Jewish Military Association, which it had been told about when the donation was sent. This was particularly pleasing as it is so important that nonJewish organisations are well aware of the contribution which the Jewish community has made, and continues to make, to the wider population. Vivat AJEX!
