hi folks
 
I have received some information about an area of a town being bombed in World War II.
 
Does anyone record this sort of information in their HER?
 
If so, how?
 
I remember a thread a while back about bomb craters, but as this bit of town has been redeveloped there are no visible remains, just historic accounts.
 
I can see various pros and cons to it .
 
Pro - it means a significant number of the buildings in the affected area are likely to be post WWII in date (not always obvious from a desk); likely to have affected archaeology survival, also potential for UXB's (unexploded bombs)
 
Cons - If I start doing this there is a whole other HER project to do it systematically (ok not really a con, but something to consider); how do you define the area affected?
 
So any thoughts appreciated.
 
 
best wishes
