Mr Wadsworth went on to say he wanted to do something to repay the charity after the kindness he received following his father’s death in World War Two.
The 85-year-old now makes his way around the town of Swadlincote in his retrofitted mobility scooter to raise money for the charity.
Couldn’t you have at least posted a photo the the gentleman and his tank clearly showing him?
Also, just realized this article was just at the cusp of the world being thrown into a pandemic and seeing all the cheery folk pre-mask society makes me wonder after the gentleman and his tank. Perhaps an update? Thoughts? Also my previous post should’ve read “of the” not “the the”.
