My father and I were caught in this tragedy, I was 2 years old and relatively unharmed but my father has chest injuries as he held me above his head to save me from being injured.

I have lived in Tower Hamlets all my life, and having recently moved to Bethnal Green, I feel it is massively important that this project goes ahead. I feel that a memorial would benefit the people of Bethnal Green, and Tower Hamlets, and would be a fitting tribute to the 27 men, 84 women and 62 children who died on the evening of 3rd March 1943.

Is it possible for my being connected to Fred Striblehill who connected your organisation as reasently as the 27/2/07. Sharing the same unusual name we have to have share a connection somewhere. Fred may be interested in my having traced the name as far back as the 1490's. So perhaps you will be so kind to pass my e-mail address to Fred. Many thanks

I have ''only'' lived in Bethnal Green since 1975, but still feel strongly that there should be a memorial and that it should be in the tube station.

I was 4 years old in March 1943 and regularly slept in the shelter within Bethnal Green tube with my mother and older sister during bombing raids.
We were not there at the time but my father was an ARP warden on duty at the Approach Road post. It took many months before he could talk about his experience and of his terrible sadness at having to bring out his neighbours and so many children. I don't think he ever got over it and he died at the age of 56. I have a photo of the wardens at Approach Road.

This is the first time I have heard of this tragedy, and after reading about it on the BBC Website was very moved. A proper memorial to the victims really should have been established years ago, and I do hope one is erected as a proper commemoration in the not distant future.
