North Wiltshire MP James Gray attended a small service at Luckington church yesterday to rededicate two graves of those who had given military service. Mr Gray read from the Gospel of St John and said afterwards:

“Self-sacrifice for the greater good of the greater number is the spirit which permeates our armed services, where huge discomfort, and of course great risk to life and limb, are accepted for the greater good of the soldier’s mates and unit, and ultimately for the greater good of Queen and Country.”
