These images were taken from newspapers and cuttings from the scrap book of Wendy Dyer (nee Comins). Wendy was a young girl witnessing the Exeter Blitz of 4th - 5th May 1942 and painstakingly saved these images for future generations. Unfortunately in most cases the dates of the newspapers and editorial are missing from the images, but we have supplied any information which was is available at the time of posting. We intend to add to this information and invite people to e-mail us any additional comments or information they may have over the coming months, so we can update the website over the next year. We would also like to add more images of Exeter during the war years to this website and would be interested to hear from any one who would be willing to let us copy photographs from the era.

We have no idea if the original photographs exist but we wanted to make sure people could see the images.
