I went to London for leave. There were two air raids over London while I was there. Things were pretty lively while the German planes were over. The underground tube stations were pretty full of women & children taking cover. I was standing not far from Covent Gardens when a bomb dropped on it. The anti airguns kept up a continuous barrage.
