Bill recalls, as a 10 year old in 1940 or 1941,going to the County Ground to play football only to find some 10 - 12 bomb craters littering the main park area. Ironically the Cricket Ground was used as a POW camp housing mainly captured German flyers. Had the bombs fallen some 200 yards to the left we would have had an early incidence of "friendly fire" i.e. the Luftwaffe bombing the Luftwaffe.
