Stanley Butcher
Royal Navy
from:Small Heath, Birmingham
Before my Dad Stanley Butcher joined the Royal Navy, he volunteered to be an ARP and remembers riding around Small Heath on his bike in the dark along the A45 Coventry Road. As he approached the junction of Tennison Road a shout came out the dark "watch that crater mate", and then he saw it a crater in the middle of the A45 junction with an unexploded bomb tail sticking out. He remembers the tin hat with a big W on.
