A Commemorative bench was dedicated to Phillip Sweet in a newly created Memorial Gardens in Aberdare (South Wales) on Sunday 3rd November 2019. This was organised by Cynon Valley Combined Services.
A hero and so young…I’d hope we might be related in some way…
Sweet being a rare name.
RIP Lance Corporal Philip Sweet.
