About
This is a wonderful book regarding the area where Gertrude lived during the Blitz on London. It was in this book that I discovered what happened to my great grandparents, when all other avenues drew a blank. My great grandparents were living on Besley Street in S.W. London. Behind their home was the main railway line from the coast to the city of London. A V2 bomb completely wiped out the area where they were living and this gave me a death date, which I didn't have. I have yet to find out what happened to the people who were killed in the blast. Gertrude's husband was a Air Raid Warden who assisted in finding those alive in the rubble. All he said was "Besley Street got it today" July 3rd 1944. She kept a daily journal of the bombings in her area - she was wheelchair bound.
