Remembered with honour
GOSPORT, MUNICIPAL BOROUGH
The night of the 10th/11th of January 1941 was to witness one of the heaviest air raids on the Gosport-Portsmouth area of the entire war. The wailing sirens yet again, forced many to occupy their damp and cold shelters. Many who had endured countless alarms warning of raids, which had not happened, as the aircraft flew over, looking for inland targets! They presumably believed this was yet another occasion. This is most likely the reason, why the number of casualties was so high that night. 171 people were killed, 430 injured and 3000 were left homeless. The raid consisted of over 300 enemy aircraft, and started at around 10:00p.m. The ‘all clear’ signal was not sounded until nearly 4:30a.m. of the early hours next day. All were killed when their homes were bombed out.
Mrs DORIS MURIEL WYNN (30), and her son IAN just 30 months old, were crushed to death by the rubble of the remains of the house, 9 Bournemouth Avenue, Elson, Gosport. They were buried on Thursday 16th January 1941, Plot 53 Space 77. A Civilian War Grave headstone commemorates both.
