Name: William George Dowding

Died on: Thursday, 12th September 1940

Died at: 41 Alfred Road, Clive Vale, Hastings

Additional Information: William Dowding, aged 59, died when an unknown number of bombers dropped 150 incendiaries on Clive Vale, including on Alfred Road and Edmund Road. He was the husband of Mrs J Dowding. One other person was killed in the raid.

I was unable to locate William’s grave marker in the main area of WW2 war graves, so he is likely buried else where on site. I will look to find it when I revisit Hastings Cemetery.
