Summary
ERIC JOHNS in his support (February 24) for a memorial to Plymouth's civilian dead of World War Two referred to the tragic deaths of four family members.
Later in 1941, according to Commonwealth War Graves Commission papers, a family of eight perished: Arthur Horrell, aged 58, and his wife Ethel, 46, together with their sons Arthur, 16, Robert, eight, David, five, and Thomas, two. Daughters Barbara, 17, and Pamela 12, were also killed in the incident on July 5. It is most welcome that there is now a firm proposal to commemorate these civilian deaths, along with more than 1,000 others, in the city of Plymouth through enemy action from 1939 to 1945.See the full content of this document
