Hi User:OrewaTel! It took me ages to find all those photos. If there's a side-effect of the edit, would you mind fixing it or letting me know what it is rather than just reverting the entire edit? JRennocks ( talk) 07:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
My wife’s grandfather died in a London Hospital on 23 July 1941. We are not sure if he died from complications with diabetes or as a results of a bombing. Does anyone know if a london hospital was bombed on or before 23 July 1941? 2600:1008:A010:A6E2:419F:304E:AE:34C0 ( talk) 14:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
