Hi old Mohawk
Air raid 10th/11th April 1941
The award of the British Empire Medal went to Frederick William Alloyed, Driver Birmingham City Transport,,,,
Sidney Clifford Miller, Driver Birmingham City Transport,
During an air raid incendiary bombs fell on omnibuses parked on Garrison Lane
Recreation ground, one of the buses was set on fire, Alloyed got into the cabin of the burning bus
Whilst Miller moved the machine in front, Alloyed drove his bus out of the park,
But the fire spread so rapidly that on reaching the the road the vehicle Burnt out
Despite the efforts of the fire brigade. These men performed an out standing service
In a most courageous manner, disregarding the great danger, valuable rolling stock
Was saved from destruction,
Miller had already driven a burning bus out of the park,in the air raid of the 9th to the 10th
Of April 1941
Best wishes Astonian,,,,,,
