Autumn sunshine bathed a new memorial garden as 29 heroes finally received the tribute they deserved. They all paid the ultimate price for serving their country but their names were never carved on the city's Cenotaphs.
They died in conflicts which came after the end of the Second World War in 1945 - Palestine, Korea, Suez, Malaysia, the streets of Northern Ireland, and Afghanistan. But they had links to the towns which make up the borough of Salford. They were either born in the city, lived or worked there, or are buried there.
An 18-year-old died in one of the most savage battles of the Korean War in a brutally cold winter 72 years ago. Seven were killed while serving during The Troubles in Northern Ireland; and two in Afghanistan.
