Thursday
27th July Forest Gate North Labour Party will be holding an Anti Fascist/Anti
Nazi vigil to remember those 20 or so
local residents killed by a V1 rocket on the 27th of July 1944.
Meet at The Holly Tree Pub 141 Dames Road , E7, corner with Pevensey Road at 6.30 p.m. There will be a short ceremony with flowers laid.
The V1 rocket was a direct hit on a trolley bus. We only know the names of four of the victims; they are:
Abraham Ince, aged 76
Gladys Blackman, aged 39
Wendy Blackman, aged 4
Edith Tilley, aged 41
We will remember those victims of Fascism,as well as those ,who against all odds, held out against fascism and stood for democracy.
I hope you can spare half an hour and attend this important local event.
