Military History

In 1986, Tom Matthews recalled ‘My uncle – Harold Davis – was at the bakery on Meadow Lane. He should have finished for the night but he went back to talk to his mates and the raid started so he decided to hang on. He was buried in the rubble.’ Pulled out alive, Harold Davis died at Nottingham City Hospital. (Nottingham Evening Post, Letters 20/2/1986)
