| Since this topic has come round again,a moving anecdote. A friend of mine George Rough(one time maintenance manager of Wandsworth Town Hall) went with his fiance to the dance hall that night. Two pals had to leave early to catch their ship at Chatham. He left to have a farewell drink with them in the Spotted Horse. While there the bomb fell and he lost his fiance. He later married her best friend,served in Italy and died in 2017. A rose he gave me still blossoms in my garden. |
