The family of a war hero has issued a desperate appeal as only four mourners are due to attend his funeral.
Wilfred Slater died on Thursday, April 27, at the age of 97, after living a full and healthy life – despite taking bullets in both legs while fighting in the Second World War.
Now great-nephew John Benson put out an appeal on social media on behalf of the former soldier of D Company, 2nd Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment, saying: “We decided he needed a bit of a send-off.”
