Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Greg Pope (Labour), on Tuesday, 28 October 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 53 members in total.
BOMBER COMMAND MEMORIAL
That this House supports fully the campaign to build a permanent memorial to the sacrifice and courage of the men who served in the Bomber Command during the Second World War; recalls that 55,573 men gave their lives serving in Bomber Command, almost half of the total who served; recognises that this was a higher proportion than in any other branch of the armed forces; believes that the freedoms which we enjoy today are their legacy; and further believes that we should now honour them with a permanent memorial.
