would just like to remind all, that the 13th and 14th of March, is the 71st Anniversary of the CLYDEBANK BLITZ, a series of raids on this small but important part of Glasgow. As in all wars, it is civilians who suffer, and this is in memory of those poor souls who perished in this devastating attack.
"List of Fatal Casualties
A List of civilian war dead, 1939-1945, was compiled by the War Graves Commission in 1954 and is to be found in the Roll of Honour placed in Westminster Abbey.
This list comprises of 511 named individuals. The number of casualties attributed to the Clydebank Blitz is 528. Many wounded and seriously injured were taken from the town and were registered dead on arrival or died elsewhere at a later date. They have been extracted from the registers of civilian war dead outside the Burgh of Clydebank. Account must also be taken of the 22 unclaimed and unidentified victims who are buried in a mass grave in Dalnotter Cemetery Clydebank. Some of these victims may be named here and for reasons could not be identified. The remains of others were never found.
"We will Remember Them"
Sincerely,
Mick
