Hi All,
Whilst browsing the BARRA website I came upon the following. Joan Gertrude May Russell, aged 14 years was killed during an air raid on 19 November 1940. She was on King Edward Sports Ground at the time. No other person is recorded as killed or injured at that location. She lived in Holte Road, Aston which, of course, is not far from Trinity Road. I wonder what a 14 year old girl was doing alone on a sports field during the heaviest raid of the war. We may never know unless someone still alive knows and is prepared to tell us the story. In any event I hope that the poor girl has rested in peace.
