Talk:Cyril Demarne

Another Times article
I did a quick search on the Times and Infotrac database and found the following which may be of use -

The Times (London, England), Sept 8, 2000 p13 Blitz survivors mark 60 years after bombing. (Home news) Robin Young.

Survivors of the London Blitz yesterday commemorated the 60th anniversary of the bombing campaign that was intended to bring Britain to its knees during the Second World War.

Cyril Demarne, 95, a chief fire officer in East London during the Blitz, joined other survivors at the Imperial War Museum. He said: "You can't imagine what it's like to be underneath the bombs. First you heard the sirens, then the aircraft followed by the bombs screaming down and it was simply terrifying. After a couple of days I realised I could do nothing about it.

"In the first week of the Blitz I thought London wouldn't be able to stand up to it. There were huge craters and gas flames blazing high in the air and tangled telephone cables everywhere. But every night the emergency services got to work and got everything up and running all over again." - Foxhill 15:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
