"At about 3.15 a.m. bombs were dropped in the district by an enemy aircraft. Owing to the darkness it was not known at first where they had fallen and the electric lights had failed. Made a search of the Dyserth, Cwm and Rhuddlan districts but did not find bombs or damage.
In company of Sergeant Hughes, Constable Humphreys and Special Constable Jones made a search and found that the bombs had been dropped in fields between Rhuddlan and St Asaph but they had been dropped in fields without doing any serious damage.
Returned back to my Station at 9 a.m.
Engaged at the Police Station between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Engaged on ARP duties and patrolled Dyserth, Meliden and Cwm districts during the evening paying special attention to the blackout.”
(he finally returned home to Dyserth Police Station at midnight, as he seemed to have done on most days)
