Walking in a street leading into Lower Sloane Street yesterday, I walked past an inscription on a wall. It took a second to filter into a mind in neutral, so I walked back inscription carved into a large stone set in the wall and read of the 74 US Military personel and 3 civilians (I think the numbers are right) that were killed by a V1 Flying Bomb nearby. I forget the date but it just seemed rather incongruous coming across it out of the blue.

The second worst V1 incident, and the one causing the most deaths to military personnel (in this case America) was in Chelsea when the US Army billets at Sloane Court received a direct hit. the bomb struck at 07:47 on Monday July 3 [1944] on the building between Turks Row and Royal Hospital Road, the initial report stating 36 service deaths. However the final total reached 64 dead, 50 seriously injured plus 10 civilian deaths.
