I too discovered one of my father's cousins had been killed in the Coventry blitz. Nella BATES was nursing at the Cov & Warwick Hospital, died next day in Gulson Road Hospital and is on the memorial in London Road Cemetery. She was from Arley. Both her sisters were nursing - and continued to do so in Nuneaton. There is a booklet, "Coventry Under Fire: an impression of the Great Raids on Coventry in 1940 and 1941" by "The Vicar of Holy Trinity, Coventry" which sold for the princely sum of 2/6 in aid of the Holy Trinity restoration fund. Worth locating if you have any connection with the city in WW2. Valuable because it was contemporary with the events. Jacqui I have borrowed a VHS recording of the Blitz in WW11 and there is some footage of the devastation during and after the raids on Coventry. The mass grave of the victims and the mourners attending are also shown - I have just discovered a distant cousin was killed while at work although he lived in Nuneaton. If anyone wants the details of the tape I am happy to send them off list.

I remember looking up into the blue sky and seeing the silver Balloon Barrage very high in the sky,
