Cannot find mention anywhere of the terrible accident which ocurred at 69 Ashley Avenue when a hand grenade was thrown against a wall in the garden killing one little 5 year old girl by the name of Kathleen Patricia Donogue and maiming several older children. It´s almost as if it never happened. The little girl was my half-sister known as Patsy

re: Patsy Donogue
Date of accident 30 January 1944, Cheriton.
Children maimed, Albert Kirkham, David and Marion Wise, Stanley and Marina Kirkham and Keith Norris. The house where the tragedy occurred belonged to the Kirkhams. Anybody remember that day?

This tragic incident is certainly mentioned Christine, you will find it on the Military & Wartime page. After you wrote here about it a couple of years ago, a gentleman did some research on it for you, and has some material for you, but you didn't leave an e-mail address last time. I have written to you by e-mail now, and will put you in touch with the gentleman in question if you wish.

Hi Christine,

Sorry it has taken so long for us to connect - I'm pleased you came back!

As Christine (site owner) said, I have a fair bit of information on this for you. She now has my current e-mail address, which hopefully she can pass on to you.

Sadly, the old guestbook had a fault which didn't log your e-mail address, but I believe Christine has it now!

Look forward to speaking to you.

Your e-mail address is mandatory in order to post a message or a reply, but it will be hidden from the page.  It will never be used for any purpose other than to possibly contact you if you get an answer to a query you posted.
Because we have had a problem with advertisements being placed here, we have switched the security to a Folkestone question and answer.  If you want to make a legitimate post here, but don't know the answer to the question, please e-mail me at folkestonethenandnow@gmail.com  explaining a little of why you are posting, and I will give you the answer.  Hint:  it is one word, all in lower case letters.
ATTENTION: It appears you can only post to this guestbook if you are on a desktop computer. I have tested it with both an Ipad and a desktop, and it will only post from the latter. I will look for a more inclusive guestbook, but in the meantime, please accept my apologies.
