When I returned to Ealing after being evacuated to Cornwall for some time, I wanted to go and visit my best friend, Malcolm Davies. My mother told me that I could not, as sadly he had been killed. He had been living with his family in a flat over Abernethies Store (a Department store) in Uxbridge Road, and the store had been hit by a doodlebug and burned down. At the same time a lot of the girls who worked in the store had been sheltering in the basement and were also killed.
