      William Walter Ernest Braddon was a civilian casualty of WW2

      William was the son of Ernest Nicholas and Louisa Sarah Braddon (nee Adams), and the husband of Ada Lottie Braddon (nee Bolwell). Sadly William, Ada, their daughter Pamela Ada, and two members of the Bolwell family, Alice Maude Bolwell and Lewis Edward Bolwell, perished as a result of an enemy air attack at their home in Grierson Road, Forest Hill.

      At the time of his passing William, a printer, was 35 years of age.
      Lewis, a civil servant, was listed in the burial register at Hither Green, but his details have been crossed out so it is unknown if he is interred at Hither Green Cemetery
