Find out more about Eastbourne’s war years on church website
I was interested to read the letter from Alan Cooper about the sad story of Carol Lawry, killed by German bombing in 1940 when a bomb fell just outside Bobby’s Store (later Debenhams).
I thought readers may like to learn more about this and other similar accounts by looking on the website of Our Lady of Ransom RC Church and clicking on “Eastbourne at War”.

A memorial to them was erected in 2018 inside the church.
