26th April 1944

Attendance low again - 2 alerts during the night 12-1am and 5-5.30am. All doors & windows were kept open - by order - from 3pm as there was an RAF practice in the Battle Area when 100 planes dropped live bombs (of 1000lbs). Concussion was terrific. Children sat in shelters - with handwork - in case of any broken glass. They were quite happy.
