Paperback. Condizione: New. Ruth Mansergh follows the fortunes of three south-west London suburbs through the Blitz, which destroyed 800 homes and killed 150 residents, including members of the Mitcham Home Guard. She also tells how toy-maker Tri-ang turned to manufacturing munitions, and profiles local heroes such as Colditz escapee Pat Reid.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. More than 350 bombs fell on Wimbledon during the Second World War, killing 150 residents and injuring a further 1,071. Around 12,000 houses were damaged and 810 destroyed. Notable people discussed in this fascinating book include Ernest Leonard Harvey, who was onboard HMS Suffolk on the night Bismarck was spotted; Peter Walley, who died when he steered his crashing aircraft away from housing in the area; Pat Reid, Colditz Castle escapee; PoW Ernest Colman's "Wimbledon Variation"; casualties of the Burma-Thailand railway; and the members of the Mitcham Home Guard who were killed when a German parachute mine hit the Tower Creameries site on Wednesday, 16 April 1941 (after a relatively quiet couple of weeks). This well-researched book also includes a list of the lost hospitals of Wimbledon, as well as war memorials in the London Borough of Merton - findings which have since been added to the Imperial War Museum's website, It also provides an insight into factory worker jobs that have long-since bitten the dust.
