    A German plane dropped some bombs on Market Street, Aberdeen on 7th August 1942.

    A Lt -Cdr John Hall was pulled from the rubble and died the following day at Kingseat Hospital Newmachar.

    Anothe Navel person was also killed in the raid and I am trying to find a name. The building was part of HMS Bacchante and being used as a Gunnery School, so looking for any RN personnel killed 7/or 8/8/42 in Aberdeen assigned to HMS Bacchante.
