Bombs.
I remember when a German plane came over one day and dropped a bomb in Moberley Road, a house was more or less demolished, a woman was in the bath and she didn鈥檛 get hurt at all! The bath saved her.
The was another bomb dropped near where the Castle Road roundabout is now. Nobody was hurt there. Salisbury escaped much bombing because they used the cathedral as a marker en route from the coast up to the midlands.
When they bombed Coventry, we sat in our bungalow in Fordingbridge and listened as the planes came over in their hundreds and heard afterwards that they had used the cathedral as a marker. They did try to get the railway but missed! Soon afterwards they dropped bombs at Wallop where the Australians were camped and a number of them were killed.
