There is a picture of Arthur on Norlink.

The accompanying notes read: Private Holland was born in Norwich, 27 June 1898; educated at Willow Lane R.C. school, Norwich; enlisted 14 April 1917; killed in action in France, 11 April 1918

The 27th April 1942 was the first night of the Baedekker Raids on Norwich. There were 162 official casualties.

One of the first houses we Moomins lived in was a terrace house on Eade Road, which backs on to Patteson Road. There were many gaps in both roads as a result of these raid. Some houses were demolished completely, and replaced with new in amongst these rows of Victorian terraces that ascended the hill between Waterloo Road and Aylsham Road. Others were like the house we rented - reduced to a shell, they effectively broke the back of the terrace and had been re-built slightly bowed :-)

If you put anything down upstairs it rolled towards the house on either side. Every chair and bed rocked if it went across the house - in the end we resorted to mattresses on the floor.

This pattern is repeated throughout the city, once you get your eye in!
