Title: Second World War Memorial Benches for Eastwood
Motion Text:
That the Parliament welcomes the display of new war memorial benches in East Renfrewshire to commemorate those who fell in the Second World War; notes that the benches depict silhouettes of servicemen alongside the poppy; understands that the project was initiated by the local branch of the British Legion with a contribution from East Renfrewshire Council's Community Grant Scheme, and thanks all those servicemen and women past and present for their service to their country.
