7. Liam Wildberg age 11, 1914 I was on my way to Ward Jackson School. I saw many people rushing about. I wondered what all the fuss was about. All of a sudden I saw 3 or 4 soldiers running down Lynn Street with big guns. So I started running and all of a sudden a big bomb went off. Sadly it was my school that was bombed. That night I sat at home and thought that I could have been in that school. But then I thought I was been a bit selfish and I said to myself what about all the poor kids that died. The next day I found out that my best mate survived the attack but the hospital said they will have to chop his leg off. From that day on I loved and took care of him. Now he is in a care home but he goes to the Havelock centre to cheer him up. But the weird thing is, the centre is built right near Lynn street.
