23.09.1940 to 26.08.1941 During the London Blitz Len served with the 52nd (London) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment. 313 AA Battery stationed at Hyde Park Corner together with gunners on the Ack Ack guns shooting down enemy aircraft. He told me “how he gave the order to fire when the aircraft was near to the guns to ensure a hit.” The gunners said “he had nerves of steel” Unfortunately, whilst on the guns one night their barracks were hit and all of his mates were killed. 8/10/1941 Dad left the UK
