why "tomorrow" is important

At least it is to me and to a family I have come to know both in my previous stay in Coventry and now upon our return. Some people read history in books, others see it on television or in the movies, then there are the select few (selected by God and time/place coincidences) who see it on the sofa across from themselves staring out the front window, in muted silence.

"On the 14th October 1940 at Chapel Street, Coventry, 2nd Lieutenant A.F. Campbell, Sergeant M. Gibson, Sappers W. Gibson, R. Gilchrest, A. Plumb, R.W. Skelton and Driver E.F.G. Taylor were tasked to deal with a 250 kg unexploded bomb.
 
After nearly four days it was uncovered, it was fitted with standard fuses, these were so badly damaged that they could not be removed. The electrical charge was thought to be dissipated by now, however Campbell applied a discharge tool just in case.
 
On the 18th October 1940, 2nd Lieutenant Campbell believed the bomb was inert and could be moved. It was loaded onto a lorry and taken to a safe open space outside Coventry, possibly Whitley Common. 

This was done - the removal and transport of the bomb - with Lieutenant Campbell lying alongside the bomb itself, enabling him to hear if it started ticking, and if so, he could warn the driver and other members of the squad to escape. As the bomb was being unloaded in Whitley, it exploded killing them all.
 
Both 2nd Lieutenant A.F. Campbell and Sergeant M. Gibson were awarded posthumous George Cross’s for Bomb Disposal tasks."

May they forever Rest In Peace
