The Repair Shop’s Will Kirk has helped restore a smashed war memorial and return it to the community it honours following its callous theft.
The memorial, which had stood since 1920, was stolen and severely damaged in an act that shocked residents in Luton in Chatham, Kent.
It is believed the plaques were attacked with an axe or angle grinder after they were taken from the church gates.
The memorial consists of two bronze plaques that carry the names of 163 local men who died during the First World War.
Police later recovered the memorial, but one plaque had been badly warped and broken.
Experts later revealed the vandals had caused extensive damage while trying to destroy it.
Thankfully, Will stepped in to help bring the memorial back to life.
