I WROTE regarding the grave of Pilot Officer William McMullen, killed in 1945 while piloting his stricken plane away from Darlington (HAS, Oct 24).

I am delighted to report that Darlington Borough Council has agreed to acknowledge his bravery at his grave on Remembrance Sunday. The council, like many I imagine, did not know he was buried in the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery here in Harrogate.

Thanks to the council for its swift acknowledgment.

L Tudor, Harrogate.
