Default WWII veteran Bill celebrates 100th birthday at the club

Mr Slade, who has lived in the town almost all his life, was part of the Merchant Navy and drafted to the Royal Navy at the outbreak of the Second World War.
During the conflict he took part in the notoriously perilous Arctic Convoys, which saw ships and their crews complete freezing journeys to Russian ports to keep the Soviet Union supplied during the German occupation of Norway.
Mr Slade was presented with an Arctic Star medal in 2016 to recognise his role.






Happy 100th Birthday Bill Slade
