Henry George Winch
ARP.
(d.19th Mar 1941)
Henry George Winch was my grandfather who I never met.
He volunteered in WW2 for home duties and was killed trying to save others. He escorted people to an air raid shelter on 19th March 1941 at Cayley Close in London which took a direct hit from a German bomber. All were killed. Henry was aged 42.
I am proud to say that this brave man served with the Middlesex Regiment in the Great War, fought at the Somme and survived.
