I have a letter from an ancestor dated april 22, 1940 from 130 Highfield Lake , Southampton. Madge Batty speaks of the air raids. A family member on a ship called the Gibraltar sank and he was captured in the sea and kept as a POW. Says her husbands office was bombed 20 yards away from him
Never forget!
Fascinating thank you

My grandfather was the Chief Engineer on The Southampton. He did not survive the last battle in January 1941.
