This story was submitted to the People鈥檚 War site by a volunteer on behalf of John Christopher Neil-Smith and has been added to the site with his permission. Mr Neil-Smith fully understands the site鈥檚 terms and conditions.
My father John Christopher Neil-Smith died in 1995. He was 19 in the Home Guard serving in North London.
In 1942 he was in the living room of a house and the order came for him to scramble under a table. A bomb landed in the garden.
He crawled out from under the table completely unscathed. Others were not so lucky.
