THE memorial bell at Carterton that tolls as fallen servicemen are repatritated at RAF Brize Norton was unveiled one year ago yesterday.
It was installed opposite the memorial garden after people raised about £26,000, including £9,000 from the Gannett Foundation, the charitable arm of the Oxford Mail’s parent company.
Lee Mackie, the mother of Jason Mackie, a Royal Marine from Bampton who was killed in Afghanistan in 2009, came up with the idea for the bell.
