Where the Bombs Fell - Earlsfield Road, Wandsworth

[Dragoman]

I'm writing my family history and know that my late Mother was lucky to escape death in 1944 when a German bomb landed at the spot where Inman Road joins Earlsfield Road in Wandsworth. I believe that this would have been in late June or July but can anyone tell me the exact date please ? My Mother always told me that the bomb was a "Doodle Bug" - the name given to V1 Flying Bombs, but the very useful document produced by Wandsworth B.C. some years ago describes it a High Explosive.

  Yes, thanks Carol. There is an account on it which refers to the very incident that I'm interested in.

It is also possible using the CWGC website to search Civilian War dead without a name, using filters I managed to get the results to WW2 Wandsworth though I did not get it to restrict dates.  No doubt it is possible to do the same search with some dates (Hope the link works )
