I RECENTLY became aware of the astonishing statue to Norman Harvey VC, that is in Mesnes Park, Newton-le-Willows. 

A photo was sent to me by a friend, she subsequently sent me your newspaper article on its unveiling.

I was concerned to see that no where on the citation plaque does it appear to mention that this man was awarded a VC, not after his name or at the end of the citation.

Surely this man deserves to have those letters after his name?

I wonder if anything could be done about it.

The CWGC engraves the headstone of a VC winner with the medal surely this man deserves to have those letters after his name on the statue.

Such bravery at such a young age.
