Arther "Duke" Newstead.

Born and raised in Hartlepool and found himself  too young to join the RAF at the onset of WW2, So cheated his way into 462 Royal Australian Airforce. During his service Arthur found himself engaged by German flack that  resulted in his pilot crash landing in Belgium. 
Many stories shared with Arthur and amazing close calls with the Germans in Italy Arthur had lost his wife of 70 years in May 2020. 

Greg C , Bri D, and Anth N, where determined to ensure Arthur who is now  97, attended the 2022 remembrance service in his local village in Scotland.( a 520 mile return journey).
Not to be deterred by distance the 3 ex Cavalry  soldiers from the Light Dragoons escorted Arthur alongside his daughter to the remembrance service. 
A true veteran, hero, and at 97 sharp as a razor, Arthur is still a reflection of a generation who gave everything for our freedom. It was a pleasure and honour for all of us to escort you and your daughter Arthur.
Many thanks to RHQ the Light Dragoons for thier support with the wreath laid in honour. Thank you Capt Dikie Bird.
