Local WW2 veteran, Ernest Slarks’ celebrated his 98th birthday, on the 26th March.
HRGS were proud to help him raise £800 from the sale of his book, Onward Christian Soldier. £400 each to Action for Children, and Cancer Research UK.

Proceeds will continue to be collected for these two charities.
Ernest’s maxim “never give in”. A relevant adage for current times.
This 198 page book tells the life story of an ordinary man who was born in Milton Regis, Kent, and his journey through the Second World War with an evocative account of his childhood in Kent and his war experiences, both joyful and stressful.
