THE funeral arrangements for a World War Two veteran have been released.
Ted Cogdell, from Griffithstown, fought alongside his friend and Ray Lewis, from Tredegar, amidst chaos and ruin almost 80 years ago, when both men fought for liberty and freedom in World War Two.
In September 1939 Mr Cogdell and Mr Lewis were sent to the 55th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment. Then seven months later they were sent to Norway, following an invasion by Germany.
Granddaughter Edwina Hole has encouraged people who knew her grandad to attend the funeral, saying : "People really ought to come to the funeral. I want him to have the send off that he deserves."
The funeral will take place at Gwent Crematorium on Friday, February 22 at 2.30pm.
