Robert Smith, an LNER Railway Police Constable who served at York Railway Station during the Second World War
He was one of 94 people who lost their lives during the Baedeker air raid on the city during the early hours of April 29, 1942.
Until now there has never been a memorial stone for Robert, although in 2017 the British Transport Police (BTP) History Group unveiled a wooden cross on his resting place.
But now, a permanent stone has been unveiled on the site at York Cemetery.
