![Testimony on a computer screen that reads: My father-in-law was in the Fire Service because he was not fit enough to fight and was on duty the night of the Clydebank Blitz [March 1941]. He was asked to go down into an Anderson Shelter and tell the folk that there was nothing left of their homes. He was heartsore at the devastation, and telling these people that they had no homes to return to was miserable. He descended... and was completely awestruck. He said it was like Pompeii. Everyone in the shelter was deadβ¦ but they had been killed by the blast. They were as they had beenβ¦ So, there were women sitting knitting, as they had been in life: kids drawing on paper on the floor, frozen in death. Nobody had any sign of injury. It certainly shook him. You may not know about the Clydebank Blitz, certainly, most Scots are unaware. I have my father-in-lawβs testimony and his wife said she had never seen him return from duty looking as if he had seen a ghost.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fw-AJIwWAAIwVyD.png?name=orig)
