    "The shelling of a Merchant Navy ship in 1940 in which a Royal Marine gunner from Mortimer died has become the centrepiece of a new display at the Imperial War Museum.
    Saturday marked the 70th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Anglo-Saxon, which was halfway through its journey transporting coal from Wales to Argentina when it suffered a sudden attack by German raider the Widder."
