Every picture tells a story.
Bruce Close, Wisbech - commemoration ceremony on Remembrance Sunday 2011
Four Wisbech brothers all died in action in the service of their country during the Second World War. No other Wisbech family made such a sacrifice. Reginald and Arthur Bruce were killed in Normandy, Thomas Bruce died at Dunkirk and George Bruce died when his destroyer was torpedoed.
Some years ago Colin Malkin, nephew of the brothers, read in one of the local newspapers that the local council had decided to mark the Falklands conflict by naming new developments in the town after the sites of some of the significant battles. In a letter to the editor he made it known that he thought the council should first of all properly honour the sons of Wisbech killed during the Second World War and he began his campaign to gain recognition for his four uncles. It has been a long campaign, fought in the best of British traditions -- he never gave up. Failure would have been easy. There was little interest or encouragement from official sources and, had he not been so persistent, his efforts could easily have been in vain. He kept plugging away -- letters to the press, nudging the council. Just before this very day last year we contacted the then vice chairman of Fenland District Council, Cllr Michael Humphrey, who, we discovered, was to be laying the council wreath at Wisbech War Memorial. We asked him to pay particular attention to the names of the fallen on that memorial, and especially the name Bruce.
He was intrigued and soon became aware of the story of the Bruce brothers. He vowed to help. After a couple more false starts along came a planning application from Mark Turner, Sheila Turner and Bob Mitchell for this housing development. Cllr Humphrey seized the opportunity and the developers immediately agreed to the name Bruce Close. The Brothers' name will live on in Wisbech. Bruce Close will be here long after we have gone. And, in the future, people will want to know why Bruce Close is so called. They will wonder who it is named after and, because some people will always be intrigued, they will discover the heroic story of Wisbech's Bruce brothers.
They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning
We will remember them.
