Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: 88 Kynaston Road, Orpington. On the face of it an ordinary bungalow, typical of the many in the Orpington area. But this particular one holds great significance - it was the home of Ivy Mildred Millichamp, who was the 60595th and last civilian killed in Britain by enemy action in the second world war. At 16.54 on 27 March 1945, the 1115th and final V2 to land in the country exploded nearby, killing Mrs Millichamp. Apparently she had just gone into the kitchen to boil a kettle; her husband, who had remained in the front room of the house, survived. She was aged 34.
She is buried in All Saints churchyard (see 717767) |
