As an ex-Royal Navy serviceman, I fully support the memorial to the women who served in the armed forces in the Second World War.
I do, however, find it sad that it is only now, after 56 years, a memorial is to be erected. The women did a marvellous job and we should have honoured them in the 1940s.
As well as one in London, why not one in York where so many women also served?
They deserve a memorial for what they did for us.
