Does anyone recognise this man with Karen Reilley? Can anyone put me in touch with him? He told Karen that he is the nephew of an ambulance driver.
Hi everyone,
I've finally got around to making a start on updating my website. So far I've added the story of Frederick Spray, a couple of photos of the memorial and I have embedded a You Tube video of Karen Reilley being presented with the posthumo…
Hi everyone,
Thank you all so much for everything you have all done to make the memorial a reality. I cannot express what it means to me. Special thanks to David and Jenny for organising everything and to Beryl Sanderson for her hospitality to my fa…
Hi everyone,
I haven't had time to add anything recently as I've been looking after my parents after my father had a heart attack. I'm looking forward to Saturday and am extremely happy that the memorial is finally a reality. Hope to see you all the…
Unfortunately I have had to take the response form off my website because of the amount of spam I was recieving from it. I will get one up and running again soon, as soon as I can get my head around PHP! In the mean time don't hesitate to contact me…
As several people have mentioned the Home Guard being in the park that night, I have added a page containing information (supplied by John Penny) about the 9th Gloucester Battalion (City of Bristol) Home Guard whose headquarters were at 99 Sommervil…
I found a photo of the right hand panel of the Steeple Morden memorial today and have added it to the pages of P/O Evans, Sgt Clarke and Sgt Lever.
I have just added a new image of the pine tree on Maurice Road taken from GoogleMaps's street view.
Is anyone reading this blog?
Can anyone help me by calling on Clementine Haskins? I'd love to speak to her again and I'm sure she'd love to hear about the memorial plans. Please can someone do this for me? Contact me through my site or at john@well…
I've added more to my information still sought page. Does anyone know anything about the Templeman family who once owned a garage on the corner of Barcley Road and Gloucester Road (opposite Somerville Road)?
So, can anyone help?
Can anyone help me I have lost contact with Clementine Haskins, the lady who saw the plane hit the balloon cable at the gas works. Can anyone call at the address I have to see if she is still there? Contact me at john@wellingtont2905.co.uk
I have updated my GoogleMap to include the plane hitting the balloon cable in Whitehall Recreation Ground

My interest in St Andrews Park is that my grandfather died there on April 30th 1941 when the Wellington Bomber he was in crashed there. I researched the crash some years ago and found out loads of information and now have a web site about the crash - www.wellingtont2905.co.uk

No I didn't see the link on your website on how to donate.........my view is
that a separate Fund is constituted specifically for the Welsh Slate
Memorial stone.........I do not wish to contribute to anything else...........
I am not sure what the Fund Target is , or how much it is estimated that
the Welsh Slate stone will cost & engraving & the Service but whatever
it is.........I feel sure that we could raise it in St Andrews
My Email address is doug@reid.uk.com if you want to discuss further.
David Cemlyn & Jenny Morriss have been organising the Event.........
& I'm not sure how they're getting on with Heritage Funding?
However.........I feel sure that the Evening Post & the RAF would cover any
shortfall for their fallen comrades?
All the Best,
Doug Reid
