| 説明 | 31 May 2011: A memorial garden dedicated to those who lost their lives in bombing of Dublin's North Strand was re-opened to mark the 70th anniversary of the incident.Every time I take an extended walk I find something that I was unaware of and today was no different because I came across a a memorial garden dedicated to those who lost their lives in the WW2 bombing of Dublin's North Strand. There was a downside to my discovery of this memorial park in that it appears to have been badly neglected since its re-opening a few years ago [what was the point of the re-opening?].At approximately 2 am on 31 May 1941, four German bombs dropped on north Dublin. One bomb fell in the Ballybough area, demolishing the two houses at 43 and 44 Summerhill Park, injuring many but with no loss of life. A second fell at the Dog Pond pumping works near the Zoo in Phoenix Park, with no casualties but damaging Áras an Uachtaráin, the official residence of the Irish President (Douglas Hyde at the time). A third made a large crater in the North Circular Road near Summerhill, again causing no injuries. A fourth fell in North Strand destroying 17 houses and severely damaging about 50 others, the worst damage occurring in the area between Seville Place and Newcomen Bridge. The raid claimed the lives of 28 people,[ injured 90, destroyed or damaged approximately 300 houses, and left 400 people homeless.It has never been established why Hitler's forces dropped bombs; if it was an attempt to force Ireland into war, or a reprisal for the assistance given by Dublin Fire Brigade during the Belfast Blitz. |
