On May the 10th and 11th 1941 the Elephant and Castle suffered heavy attacks in the Blitz. Around one third of the built environment was destroyed.

It’s strange that I have come across these pictures on Remembrance weekend 9th-10th November 2019, of the Memorial Service in Bermondsey 1943, for Lidice a mining village about 15 miles from Prague, Czechoslovakia.
If you haven’t heard or read about the horrors that happened in Lidice in 1942, I will leave it to yourselves to make that decision to find out.
Have we really solved anything from war,? have we really learnt after 76yrs from the Lidice Horror or the end of WW2,? Sadly I have my doubts. :(
