A plaque has been placed on the war memorial in Monmouth in memory of Rifleman Jamie Gunn (21), who lost his life in Afghanistan. Jamie's parent, Janet and Mervyn Gunn, are pictured looking at the plaque, which records the date and Jamie's name. Mrs Gunn said "The wording on the plaque was decided by the MoD., in line with current guidelines. "It was one of our son's friends who initiated the plaque and we are very honoured they did". The person who paid for the plaque is a local businessman, who has asked not to be named.
