A great site giving a history of the WW2 Blitz on Merseyside, especially Liverpool. An almost day by day, and night by night, account which might bring back so many memories, if you were there like I was. Includes a Civilian Casualty List.

Fantastic site D.S thank you!
Will list it in the Bootle forum.
The civilian list is just so very sad.

Hi Tina,
Re the Civilian Casualty list... Very sad I agree, but even sadder is that the list of the Missing didn't make it through time to the LRO Archives.

A several of years ago Roger Hull, an LRO researcher, found one of my mother's two brothers in the Civilian Casualty List. Unfortunately, her other brother was just plain 'missing'. I actually remember their deaths in the Blitz of the first week in May 1941. Both were 'Fire Wardens'. Robbie was killed on the 3rd, but his body wasn't found until the 6th. Tommy didn't return home on the night of the 3rd and was never seen again. If his body was found it is likely he couldn't be identified and his death is recorded in the GRO Index as one of the many 'Unknown (Male)'. Both were married with children.

Lest we forget.....
