The burial form, a typed foolscap sheet with the printed heading of Poplar Coroner’s Court giving details of the inquest and a cutting from the London Evening Standard reporting a fatal road accident on the East India Dock Road, together with a number of loose foolscap sheets and other material, were contained in a water-stained beige HMSO-issue file.

Sowerbutt's Coffin

A curious assortment of eyes watched the coffin being lowered into the grave at the cemetery, a stone’s throw from Mile End Road in London’s East End, still flattened after the recent war.

Sowerbutt's Newspaper

Sowerbutt buried himself in the Mirror, reading several letters calling for reprisal air raids against Berlin. “Teach the Jerries a lesson they won’t forget,” said one. “I want 100 dead Jerries to make up for my darling Peter,” said another.
