This story is submitted by Helen Hughes of the People's War team in Wales on behalf of Group Captain G H Everitt CBE, DSO, DFC, AE, RAF (retd) and is added to the site with his permission.
I served the last year of the second World War in Europe as a Wing Commander in the Directorate of Bomber Operations at the Air Ministry, during which period I spent some weeks living with my parents ain their house at Putney.
One evening during a Doodlebug (flying bomb) alert my mother and I took refuge under the dining room table. I was somewhat amused when my mother pointed out that it was the very same table under which she had sheltered me during the zeppelin raids on London in the latter part of the First World War.
