Bexley ARP Messenger Service - Boy Scouts

3/29/2018

Messengers were of vital importance during air raid incidents. They would convey messages from Warden Posts to the Control Centres. Should the telephone lines have been cut it was their messages that would enable a quick response to happen. This photo shows a large group of boy scouts who acted as Messengers in Bexley, London.

Hi

Would anyone have any pictures or information on the ARP personal who were killed when the Do17 bomber which had crashed landed on Barnehurst golf course, Bexley, Kent exploded on 15th September 1940, several ARP were killed as well as a Special Constable Clarke was killed.

Any help that you can give would be much appreciated.

Regards

Nigel
