NE of "The Few" is being remembered by the many thanks to a display in a Bury Church.

Mrs Joyce Fowler (59) decided it was about time that more people learned about the courage and the life of her husband's great uncle, Cpl Frank Hutchinson of the XX Lancashire Fusiliers who was killed in action during World War One.

So, to coincide with Remembrance Sunday this year, she unveiled an exhibition in St Stephen's Church which can be viewed until the end of the month.

"Every year I get a cross from the Royal British Legion to plant in Frank's memory. Last year I planted it in the church garden but this year I decided to use it as the centrepiece of a display in the church," said Mrs Fowler who works as a volunteer at the Fusiliers Museum. It features a range of memorabilia detailing the life of the brave Radcliffe lad who was killed on June 28, 1916.

Included is the citation from the King, Cpl Hutchinson's medals, letters, photographs and communications from the War Office.

One of the most poignant exhibits is his wedding photograph which was taken when he married Alice Harrison in November 1915.

Weeks after the event he went off to war and never returned. He died in Blaireville, near Arras, just before the Battle of the Somme. His brother, James, received the Victoria Cross during the same war and his photograph was recently returned and put on display at his old school in Radcliffe.

Mrs Fowler and her husband, Neil (57), of Greenhill Road, Bury, hope to visit the Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery at Arras someday to see Frank's name there on the Memorial to the Missing.

She said: "You feel very humble that thousands of people died for us and the exhibition is one way of making people remember what was done for us in World War One. The older generation find it interesting because it jogs their memory and a lot of youngsters have enjoyed it because they study the war at school."
