Can you help us find the owner or family of this book that survived a
bomb blast - probably during the Battle of Britain in the UK?
Megan Dubois is a book collector who found this rare find in a
second-hand store in Cleve so if you know any Goddard’s who used to live
around Cleve, or perhaps a McLellen or McHellen family who came out to
Australia after World War 2, we’d love to hear from you!
The inscription reads, "I bought this book in 1935 for 1/- it was in
our house when a land mine dropped on it in 1940 Oct 18. I rescued it
from the rubble and have used it ever since, I also had a cookery book
from the same edition which my daughter Dian McLellen (Possibly
McHellen) has. Joyce Goddard (Mrs) 1985."
