Thank you so much for this link.I have often wanted to read about the Glasgow blitz.

My grandfather's brother, Henry Kane died  'due to war operations. Injury from falling masonry.'
This info is on the death entry. It states that he died about midnight March 13th. Body not found until next day in Morrison Street.
Several death entries before and after Henry were all as a result of the bombing.
Also there are some books mentioned where I can read more.

Hello everybody,
I have a website called My Clydebank Photos. My daughter bought me a website package for my Christmas and I have used it to display photographs that I took in the late 70s and early 80s. I also have a current photograph section of Clydebank and a Then and Now Album.
If you are interested, come and have a look at www.myclydebankphotos.co.uk
Thank You.
Owen
