Tom Murphy's Liverpool 'Blitz' Memorial
Approximately 4,000 civilians (made up of men, women and children) were killed _ and another 10,000 injured _ in Liverpool (the most bombed provincial city in Britain) by German bombers during WW2.
Shown above is world renowned, local sculptor Tom Murphy's memorial statue to all the civilian casualties of my home city who fell victim to Hitler's Luftwaffe.
It stands in the grounds of St Nicholas church and shows a young mother with babe in arms, calling her little lad to bring his toy and seek shelter from the bombs.
Below are some relevant links, including (many) images of the war ravaged Liverpool into which I was born and grew up. Please take time to look, especially at the first link -- then count your blessings.
