I lived in Donnington Road in Ipswich and we got a direct hit. Our
neighbours were killed in the raid but I always slept under the stairs with
my daughters (aged seven and five). The whole house collapsed on top of us.
The first thing I had heard was the bomb and I thought 'That's going to hit
me.' It was the middle of the night and the girls were screaming. I lost my
home and all my possessions, including my wedding photographs, and they gave
me £80 and another house on the same estate. My husband was in the Army and
he came home on compassionate leave.
