Why?

Over 60,000 civilians died in the UK as a result of incidents between 3rd September 1939 and the end of the war.  The web is full of information but it is scattered; this blog is an attempt to catalogue the work that others have carried out with the aim of helping create a more accurate and complete memory of the events and the people.
I've used the Commonwealth War Graves Commission list of the civilian war dead as my starting point.  This can be sorted by date of death (amongst other things) but my interest is in producing a list of the incidents so I have gone through each record.  Where CWGC records a date of injury I have recorded that.  I have also used some judgements: if a person died on the 2nd of the month and ten other people died in the same street on the 1st, I have assumed that all of them died on the 1st.  Where I have made a judgement like this, I have recorded that.
The result is a catalogue of the incidents that took place in the UK 1939-1945.  I have then searched the web for details about that incident, copied and pasted the address for the website and noted the information.  For most incidents, some information is available but for others I can't find anything and I would be delighted to receive more information.
