EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a moment of both devastation and hope during the Baedeker raids in Exeter, May 1942. Five individuals owe their lives to the Morrison shelter, as their two-story house received a direct hit from an air attack, completely burying the shelter beneath the rubble. Miraculously, they were found shaken but uninjured within the sturdy confines of the Morrison shelter. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by ordinary people amidst conflict. The destruction surrounding them is evident in the piles of debris that once constituted their home. Yet, against all odds, this group emerged unscathed thanks to this innovative wartime invention. During World War II, Exeter experienced its fair share of bombings and destruction. However, stories like these highlight how shelters such as Morrison played a crucial role in protecting civilians from harm's way. This particular incident showcases not only the effectiveness of these structures but also emphasizes how luck can sometimes play a significant part in survival during times of war. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, it serves as a testament to human endurance and reminds us that even amid chaos and destruction, there is always room for hope and resilience.
