NOT FORGOTTEN

The above were In From the Cold Project cases. (Volunteer: Terry Denham)
- Robert Appleyard was killed by a bullet from a military aircraft
- George Burrows was killed by a bullet from a military aircraft
- Robert Dimond was killed by a ricochet bullet
- Hannah Haworth was killed by a bullet from a military aircraft
- Hannah Moors was killed by a falling AA shell
- Michael Morgan was killed when an anti-tank shell exploded
- Hannah Redcar was killed by a bullet from a military aircraft
- Derrick Taylor was accidentally shot in an army billet

 

Never realised being killed by bullets from aircraft was such a common occurrence. Makes sense I suppose - bullets have to come down somewhere. Real shame about the baby (Robert Appleyard).
