What happened
Gertrude Ann Cleverton, 51, of Kenridge, Plymstock Road, Oreston, was killed in the roadway at Hayes Road during a late-war raid — one of the last recorded civilian bombing deaths in the Plymouth area.
Also worth knowing
Recorded under Plympton St Mary Rural District Council, which was responsible for logging bombing casualties across the parishes to the east of Plymouth — including Plymstock, Oreston, Hooe and Turnchapel — that the city's own 'bomb book' and 1940s census map don't cover.
