Firemen who gave their lives in the Coventry Blitz.
Memorial to the Coventry firemen
Located in St. Mary's Guildhall, Coventry there is a plaque dedicated to the firemen who gave their lives during the Coventry Blitz.
The dedication by Sir Aylmer Firebrace reads:
"Grim determination of the siren wailing - tension as the first bombs fell - exhilaration as he left cover to attend the first call - exaltation as the raids proceeded and hell was let loose around him. Then exhaustion, and, finally, much later, satisfaction - satisfaction at having done a useful night's work.

Note - three slight discrepancies in spelling of names between the memorial and records on my site have been noted and checked against official records. In all cases my records were found to be accurate.
