People Standing Next to a Bombed Out Bus, 1940. Britain during the Second World War: the Blitz. 'Any night, any time, summer 1940. Fire and flame, death and destruction...Any morning-after in London - or is it Coventry, Bristol, Portsmouth? Liverpool, Belfast, Birmingham? Plymouth or Glasgow?...Holes where there were no holes yesterday, no houses where yesterday's houses. Broken mains squirting water, sewage, gas or fire. Under one's feet the crunch of shattered glass, like walking on a pebbly beach. No wonder I couldn't get a number 15 this morning'. From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 4); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
