Some list members might be interested in taking a look at an extract from Vera Punter's book Whitsunday's Child, entitled Bombs Over Rodbourne, which is on the following web page: http://www.ekco-electronics.co.uk/Bombs/Bombs.htm This extract is illustrated by four of Vera's photographs, the first two showing unexploded bombs at Rodbourne village, the third showing the bomb disposal squad outside Parsloe Farm and the fourth showing the bomb waiting to be taken out to Malmesbury Common to be detonated. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
