gone but not forgotten
Going to work circa 1943/44 i was on a trolley bus going towards the City one morning, there had been an heavy air raid in the night and when we reached Tennyson Rd/Coventry Rd corner we saw a unexploded parachute mine lodged in a tree approx 30 yards down Tennyson Rd there was one Policeman standing on guard and a piece of tape across the road all the passengers including me were standing up, looking out of the windows at this mine nobody seemed to think it might explode!, later in the day the bomb disposal squad defused it, brave Soldiers every one.
