Allum Green is a hamlet southwest of Lyndhurst, Hampshire, England.
During the night of 5/6 September 1940 it was the scene of a Luftwaffe bombing raid, which resulted in the deaths of four British Army soldiers of the RAOC (Royal Army Ordnance Corps) and 14 men were injured. [1]
The precise location of bomb strike was on Allum Green House itself.[2], which still exists and is a private home. The site is commemorated by a memorial bench erected in 1980 by comrades of the deceased.
Those killed were:
- Warrant Officer Class 2 H S Tyler
- Staff Sergeant S H Avon,
- Staff Sergeant E W E Gifford
- Sergeant A W Blunn.
