We had the proud honour to be in attendance and pay our respects at yesterday’s event.
The 24th August marked the 85th Anniversary of one of the heaviest raids on North Weald during the Battle of Britain. Over two hundred bombs were dropped on the airfield and the village. During the raid nine young members of the 7th (Home Defence) Battalion, the Essex Regiment were killed when a shelter took a direct hit. The oldest of the dead was 19, the youngest 17. They had only arrived at North Weald the day before.
