BURY'S fusiliers have saluted the generosity of a local market trader.
Mr Stephen Hilton, who owns the Fish and Poultry stall on Bury Market, presented the Wellington Barracks Fusilier Museum with a £250 cheque.
Mr Hilton has become a friend of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers through his contact with Fusilier David Gibbon, who is a member of the local recruiting team.
Welcoming the cash injection to the Fusilier Museum Appeal fund, Captain John O'Grady, the North West secretary of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, said: "The donation is a wonderful gesture. It shows that the younger members of our generation do care what becomes of their heritage."
The appeal is seeking to raise enough funds to pay for a transfer of the museum from its current base in Bolton Road to the Castle Armoury Drill Hall in the town centre.
