Those affected by the Smithfield V2 rocket attack, 8 March 1945

110 people were killed by this bomb. From the : "While the loss of life was terrible, the number of injured was even higher and those others affected though loss of livelihood, friends, family, the displacement of neighbours and the trauma experienced by first responders and bystanders . . . it seemed right to dedicate it to all the victims of this terrible weapon."

Look closely at this image and you can see rescuers standing precariously on top the rubble. They are included in this dedication.
