Betty's campaign to commemorate her uncle Walter
Private Walter Blackwell was injured in the fighting at Ypres in World War One, and never recovered his health before his death in 1926 at the age of 33.
After a campaign by his 93-year-old niece Betty Quinton, his name has been inscribed on the parish cenotaph in Wales, near his home in Kiveton Park, Rotherham.
She's been telling Tom Ingall about her pride in seeing her uncle's name finally commemorated on the cenotaph.
