1945
During enemy activity over an East Coast town, [Skegness] in the early hours of Sunday morning, various districts were subjected to cannon fire.
Bullets struck an amusement centre and the roadways near a cinema. A farm in the open country also received attention.
Two police officers, a Sgt. Barnes, and a P.c. Hodson,in a police car were machine gunned while crossing an open space in the district, and had a narrow escape, the road being struck immediately behind the vehicle.
