A fundraising campaign is closing in on its target for a new commemorative bench.
Welshpool resident Alan Crowe has so far raised £1,320 towards a Royal Welch Fusiliers bench for the town's Memorial Gardens.
The bench will cost £1,500, plus delivery and VAT.
Mr Crowe said: "Donations in memory of a family member who served in any of the 3 services or RWF & WLA are most welcome and the names will form a roll of honour at the unveiling ceremony of each bench."
He hopes to eventually install 10 to 12 benches in total to honour Welshpool’s servicemen and women from the past century.
Each bench will be dedicated to a different group, including the Women’s Land Army, Royal Navy, Army, and Royal Air Force.
Three benches have already been installed in the gardens.
