When Bombs Fell

A bombing of my school It was a winter night 1942 the British Bombed the school I was going to when older. the town was in darkness why the Bris bombed the school was because they had been misinformed thinking it was the German military headquarter. Many surrounding houses burnt down and there was some causality. Other than sporadic bombing our town was a paradise for the enemy soldiers stationed there. Time is harder now we see Israeli bomb schools and children’s playground in Gaza. I write this because I got an email from boys I had (they are old now) gone to school with and it brought back memories of a time gone by.
