I am anxious to trace a number of people who were involved in a wartime incident in which a small bomb-type device exploded in some fields at the back of Falmer where they were playing.

Several of the children were injured, one seriously. All were living in the Queens Park Road and Elm Grove areas of Brighton at the time.

They include Raymond Griffiths, Wilfred Trott, William Hagon, June Hogbin and the three Taylor brothers, Albert, Thomas and Frank.

The story about this incident will be part of a new book about Brighton and Hove during the Second World War.
