The Tale of the Liverpool Blitz
The Tale of the Liverpool Blitz
Mill Road Hospital took a Direct Hit
On the Maternity Ward indiscriminately killing Pregnant Women and new-born children
Reduced the City , Docks and Quarter's to smouldering ashes
Blew the Malachant into a Billion
Shrapnel pieces the quake could be
heard over 3 miles away
We even lost a National Treasure in
the form of Mary Lawson because she
never returned to the Bomb Shelter
Left countless homeless
But far more curse
Left thousands of Families bereft and bereaved
Yet the question still persists
Why help in the form of the R.A.F
Never Came
