Walter Feltham worked in the evenings with St John's Ambulance, Coventry. (He worked at Alfred Herberts during the day). The teams had to search through bombed houses looking for survivors. Usually, they found bodies. My Grandad never talked much about the war. But he did mention the night of the Coventry Blitz, finding a badly injured man that they could not save. It really affected him.
