Old Palace School Bombing

[chiddicks]

For those that followed my research into the Old Palace School Bombing you will know that I have been researching this incident a long time. It’s still today the largest ever loss of life for the Fire Brigade. 34 Firemen and Women lost their life here.

I have created a website to commemorate the lives of all 34 firefighters and over the coming months will be posting biographies on all the firefighters m.

The website is in its infancy but any support you can give will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Having shared many phone calls with the Great Niece of AFS Fireman Frank James Endean and also a few tears over these last few months, I am both deeply honoured and extremely humbled to share Frank's story, this one was really personal to me........

We finish the project where the whole story started, with the 34th and final biography of ALL the 34 Firemen and Firewomen who died at the Old Palace School Bombing during the Blitz in WW2. This is the story of my Great Aunt, Winifred Alexandra Peters, nee Wootton. It has been a long and emotional journey, some of these stories were both harrowing to research and difficult to tell, but I am thankful to the volunteers who helped carry out the research and I am extremely grateful to all the families of those that lost their lives that night for allowing me to tell their loved one's stories. Some of these family members have become lifelong friends because of this. Thank you for taking the time to read their stories, I hope that the website does them justice and they will be forever remembered and their sacrifices not forgotten.
