James William Lee
Auxiliary Fire Service 6-3 Yardley, Birmingham
from:Birmingham
My father James Lee was told to stand guard over a pump during a raid on Birmingham on a particularly cold January night. He had heard nothing from anyone for over an hour so decided to abandon the pump and go for a cuppa in the next road as he was feeling numb with the cold. When he got back to his pump it was no longer there - just a very deep hole, it had received a direct hit during the raid. He may have been alive but got a rocket for disobeying orders and leaving the pump unattended.
