HEROINE

LILIAN

DEFIED

BOMBS

Most nights 18-year-old Lilian Griffiths spends hours serving soldiers across the counter of a W.V.S. canteen on Stockport Station.

Other evenings she acts as typist to the Romiley Home Guard.

Now hundreds of people in blitzed Liverpool know her as a heroine.

But at her Heald Green, Romiley, home, her mother knows nothing of her daughter's bravery, because "she just wan't talk about, | herself," Mrs. Griffiths told "a

reporter,

Lilian had to drive a van of food supplies to Liverpool. Bombs fell as she entered the city. Once she had to get out and dive under her van as the shriek of falling bombs warned her..

The van was damaged. But Lillan crawled, out and carried on. The food was delivered and, —that was all that, mattered, so far de Lilian was concerned.
