"Dear G,
Palace Barracks Memorial Gardens: I was speaking to Albert Owens the Custodian of the Palace Barracks Memorial Gardens and he tells me that the MOD will no longer cut the grass or clean the footpaths at the Memorial Gardens, he has to do this from now on. This means that he has to buy some new equipment for which he has no source of funding. he needs £980.00 to get a Lawnmower, Power Washer and a Car Trailer. . As you know Albert looks after the Memorial Gardens without any financial support or payment, he relies totally on goodwill donations for its upkeep. The Fallen from all Corps and Regiments who died on OP BANNER and other conflicts are lovingly remembered there by him and it is a great credit to him that he does this. It Is also a very tangible link for many to the comrades/relatives they lost in action. I ask that if you are able to support Albert in any way that you might consider doing so. It is a very worthwhile cause and he would appreciate any donations, large or small at the moment. Cheques should be made payable to: Palace Barracks Memorial Gardens: The website is: www.palacebarracksmemorialgarden.org/Intro.htm and his contact details are Mr Albert Owens MBE Memorial Custodian Palace Barracks Memorial Gardens Holywood.
