    Notes:

    "Ernest Biggs and George Hannant were working together during the heaviest period of the blitz and were on their way to a garage fire caused by enemy action, when a heavy bomb burst near them. Hannant received injuries from which he later died and Biggs, badly hurt, had his right foot amputated. Although he was aware that he was fatally injured, Warden Hannant begged his fellow wardens to leave him and carry on with their fire-fighting job in order to save the district from further destruction. The two wardens had previously worked zealously in fire fighting bombs and they had also assisted in rescue operations. Hannant went to school at Sholing and, following an apprenticeship at Whites engineering and shipbuilding yard, was employed as an aircraft joiner. He had been married for three years and leaves a widow. He was a keen hockey and tennis player. Hannant joined the A.R.P. in September 1939."

    Died in the Assembly Hall of Itchen School (latterly Itchen College), which was then being used as a casualty clearing station, having been severely injured in his legs by a nearby bomb blast.

    Dear Mrs Hannant
    I recently drew the attention of the Minister of Home Security to your late husband's gallant conduct on November 23, 1940 when during a heavy enemy air attack he courageously performed his duty in the face of the greatest danger, and in spite of the fact that he received serious injuries, which he knew to be fatal, he continued to encourage his colleagues in the performance of their duties. Mr Herbert Morrison felt that your late husband's courage and devotion to duty were deserving of high praise, and he took steps to bring the matter to the notice of His Majesty the King. I now have the pleasure of informing you, at the request of the Minister, that His Majesty has been graciously pleased to give orders for the publication of your late husband's name as having received an expresion of Commendation for his services. The notice will appear in a list to be published as a Supplement to the London Gazette on the evening of 28th February 1941.
    Yours sincerely
    Harold Butler
