Honour the Fallen


The Surrey Comet is today calling on readers to help raise money to restore a vandalised war memorial in New Malden. The church feared it would not be able to raise enough money to restore the memorial before November and may have to cancel its annual Remembrance Day service. With your help the Surrey Comet’s Honour the Fallen campaign is looking to find the funds needed to ensure this does not happen.
