Post F6 wardens' log books (GBR/L9/1/11/12)

The Air Raid Precautions (ARP) had 2 posts in Kingsholm.  This image, from ‘Post 6F’ – but listed as ‘F6’ – is an air raid damage report recording 40-50 incendiary bombs and 2 high explosive (H.E.) bombs that fell at 20.15 hours on 16th Jan 1941 on Kingsholm Road, Gloucester Rugby, Sebert Street and Sandhurst Road.  The pair of unexploded bombs had fallen on St. Catherine’s Meadow and these would have been dealt with by the Army UXB squads.  Given the date, we know that the bombs were dropped by stray Luftwaffe bombers from a Bristol raid.  The log books not only record air raids (usually noting down the Air raid Yellow, Red and All Clear times) but also training exercises and maintenance schedules.
