The man directing the hose was Cliff Elmer, of Avenue Cottage, Avenue Road, Court Estate.
Cliff married Dorothy, daughter of Charles and Ruth Emily Warrington.
Cliff's mother and sister were victims of a bomb in 1940 in Roberts Street.
A Blue Plaque was put on the site in 2015, when Cliff's son was invited to unveil the plaque.
