Display created in memory of war hero Bill, 93
A group of artistic care home residents have come up with a touching tribute to Second World War hero from Mid-Wales by making cascades of giant poppies in his memory.
Bill Evans, 93, from Kerry, near Newtown fought his way through Europe and helped liberate Brussels, however he died on Monday, October 15, after a short illness at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
He was a popular resident at Pendine Park’s Gwern Alyn care home and two years ago unveiled a “weeping wall” of poppies outside the Penybryn care home in time for Remembrance Sunday.
This year the poppy displays will be sited outside several of Pendine Park’s care homes as a way of commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
