CAMPAIGNERS have now collected almost all the money they need to refurbish a Hampshire war memorial and add the names of the fallen.
A £4,000 cheque from the Totton branch of Asda has taken the total raised to more than £9,000.
The memorial in Testvale Park, Totton, is not inscribed with the names of the 167 servicemen from the town who have died in battle.
Ex-servicemen and other residents have spent months attempting to raise enough money to improve the structure.
Asda's cheque was handed over at a ceremony attended by representatives from some of the organisations that have supported the appeal, including Calmore Community Association, Totton and Eling Town Council, Totton Conservative Club and the army.
Councillor Di Brooks said: "We hope we have got most of what we need."
