Joyce Styles (Letters, January 10) and other readers of the Echo may wish to know that the events of March 27, 1941 are recalled each year at St. Aldhelm's Church, Branksome.
Every Remembrance Sunday the names of the workers who died during the bombing of the Bourne Valley Gasworks are read aloud along with the names of those who are commemorated on the war memorial in our church.
It has been our privilege to be able to house the metal plaque displaying the names of the gas workers who perished on the day of the bombing. which took place in the heart of our parish.
This year the 70th anniversary falls on a Sunday and the 33 victims will be remembered at our 10am Holy Communion service.
THE REV CANON STEPHEN BATTY, Vicar of St. Aldhelm’s Church, Branksome
