SIR – The horrendous tale about an elderly veteran recovering after heart surgery being attacked by youths on his way to a remembrance service has gone viral thanks to modern technology (Telegraph and Argus, November 11) and I have to say how appalled I was at this reprehensible behaviour.
It was a disgusting, savage, cowardly attack on an innocent man who had served his country and as a result of this attack has lost his medals. Do these youths have no respect for anyone? I sincerely hope that they are apprehended and given appropriate sentences that reflect society’sies revulsion at this attack and act as a deterrent to other would-be offenders. And I hope with all my heart that his medals are found and that his health does not suffer as a result.
