Henry George Wand appears to have had connections with Coldharbour, Surrey as details of his death are on a family grave in the churchyard of Christ Church, Coldharbour.

The inscription reads: IN EVER LOVING MEMORY OF / HENRY GEORGE WAND / KILLED BY ENEMY ACTION 14 JANUARY 1945 / AGED 43

In reply to Debbie Moon. Gladys may Unwin was my great aunt. Heard some lovely stories from my gran about her, will ask what she remembers about Frank. Must have been very difficult having to live on the same road afterwards.

I am the daughter of Frank Patrick Sheard. Ernest Francis Sheard was my uncle Ernie, a lovely gentle man who didn’t speak much about this. My dad was in the house when the bomb hit but was able to get out. At that time he was engaged to Gladys May Unwin from no. 14.
After the war finished the council housed my dad and my mum in the new houses built on this road and myself and my sister grew up at the new no. 9. I think that was really hard on my dad being on that road. He drank a lot. I only understood why when my sister (Linda) looked into the history.

I lived at No 16 from 1952 in the row of 6 terraced house built on the site.
In the new build council houses on the south side of the road was a sheard family, a daughter Linda is still in the area and can be found via friends reunited.

The houses in that road seems to have been renumbered.
