I HAVE SENT YOU THE STORY ABOUT THE V2 ROCKET THAT HIT THE SCHOOL IN 1944. YOU CAN CHECK THIS BY RINGING THE GIRLS SCHOOL AND SEEING THE REGISTER FOR 1943 YOU WILL SEE THAT MY SISTER WENT THERE AND I WENT TO THE BOYS SCHOOL ALONG THE ROAD 200 YARDS GOING WEST FROM THE GIRLS SCHOOL BUT THE BOYS SCHOOL REISTER WAS LOST IN THE BOMBING MY SISTERS NAME IS JUNE HOOKINGS
BORN IN 1933.
I HAVE LOOKED AT ALL THE RECORDS THAT I CAN, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY ABOUT THE SCHOOL BEING USED AS A MORGUE I THINK THIS WAS NOT TALK ABOUT SO MUCH THEN BECAUSE FOR THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE HAD NO NAME ON THEM WHEN FOUND. I ALSO REMEMBER THAT BEING AROUND 8 YEARS OLD MY OLD MATES AT THE TIME WOULD GO OUT INTO ALL THE BOMB HOUSES AND WE FOUND AS WE CLIMB THRO A WINDOW THAT WAS BLOWN OUT IN THE FRONT ROOM WE FOUND 4 DEAD MEN SITTING AT THE TABLE PLAYING CARDS WE TOLD MY DAD AND HE SAID
THE BLAST HAD KILLED THEM THE ARP CAME IN AS WE LEFT OUT THE BACK. GEORGE HOOKINGS
