Two First World War soldiers shot for cowardice but pardoned 90 years later are to be formally recognised on a war memorial.
The names of Private Harry Farr and fellow soldier James Swaine have finally been engraved on to Wealdstone war memorial in north-west London.
Their names will be unveiled in a ceremony after they were among 306 soldiers shot for military offences during the First World War to receive posthumous pardons last year.
The men were pardoned following years of campaigning by their descendants when Defence Secretary Des Browne made a U-turn on an earlier Ministry of Defence decision.
