Who tragically lost
their lives in World
War Two
Jacob Sasieni also known as Philip Mason born 1873, his wife Annie Faust also known as Millicent Mason born 1873, their two daughters, Sophia Sasieni also known as Bessie Mason born 1904 and Louie (Lily) Sasieni also known as Lily Mason born 1907, all lost their lives from injuries sustained during a Luthwaffe air raid on the city of Weston-super-Mare England at 10 Rectors Way in the year 1941. The family were all born in London England and it was likely that they moved to 10 Rectors Way, Weston Super Mare in the South West of England believing that the area would be a safe haven from the daily bombing raids affecting London. At that time, it was generally thought that surely anything would be safer than London during the Blitz, Weston received many evacuees in late 1939, they arrived there from London and other large British cities. Nowadays, people often take holidays in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, England and the town has adapted to meet those needs. But in World War two, probably due to the RAF airfields, bases and factories in the area Weston-Super-Mare was tragically targeted by the Luthwaffe. The first bombs fell on Weston in June 1940 but the worst blitzes took place in January 1941 and in June 1942. Large areas of the town were destroyed. On 3rd January 1941 to 4th January 1941 17,000 incendiaries fell on Weston Super Mare and the surrounding cities and on the Saturday 4th January 1941 during a Luthwaffe bomber air raid on the town, Rector`s Way in Weston Super Mare took a direct hit completely destroying number 10 thus killing Jacob Sasieni, his wife Annie and daughter Sophia. Daughter Lily died one month later from injuries sustained in the blast. It must have been a most horrible sight because many people were severely burnt. They had to have their clothes removed, a terrible job because they stuck to the burns. American military authorities estimated that the European war cost all belligerents 14 million dead and 5,500,000 permanently disabled; but if those figures were taken as covering the global war and as including Japanese losses in killed and disabled of around 1½ million, they would probably not be very far out. The toll of civilian lives was even more indefinite but certainly no less appalling. When all the resources of the embattled nations were mobilized for total war, the distinction between soldier and civilian was largely obliterated, and with it the relative immunity from enemy action which non-combatants had previously been supposed to enjoy. Yet the bombing raids which struck at crowded centres of population accounted for only a small proportion of the casualties. British civilian losses from air attacks were 60,585 dead and 86,175 injured. Losses of the War The effects of the war spread far beyond the battlefield. The military machines of the great powers moved men and women away from their homes, some for good. Not only physical violence but also economic requirements changed relationships between nations, societies, and individuals. The war brought ruin to many, to others hope. No other years have transformed so drastically the expectations of millions of men and women. The effects of the war will still dominate world affairs. Please do not forget the sufferings that statistics can muffle and I hope the reader will be able to sense the tragedy of this war.

MEMORIAL – IN MEMORY
OF THE CHILDREN
Child Mortality Rates !9th century & early 20th century
The infant mortality
rates in the early
to late 19th century
and early 20th
century were high.
The babies raised in
ideal conditions,
clean environment,
regularly breast
fed, and well cared
for could expect
death rates of 80 to
100 per thousand.
The inner city rates
were dramatically
higher, 300 deaths
per thousand on
average mainly due
to the poverty,
dreadful housing
situations, and
unhealthy urban
sanitary conditions.
The development of
obstetrics, which
encompasses all
aspects of
pregnancy, birth and
its result, evolved
into the rise of
gynecology. This
moved the care of
the Mother and child
from the home and
the midwife to the
hospital and the
doctor. In Memory of Lilian Dightmaker was born June 1912 in Whitechapel, London, England and died 1926. In Memory of Matilda Dightmaker was born December 1913 in Shoreditch, London, England and died 1918.

Sheltering in the Strand Underground train station – London bombing raid 1940
Some time ago there were archived photos released and published highlighting the 70th anniversary of the London blitz.
An email was received from a man in Casino, Australia saying that his 97 year old grandmother (still living 2010) and immigrated to Australia in 1954 recognised a young lady featured in a magazine photo of Aldwich underground station around 1940 during the London blitz, as her Work College and friend, Stella Sassienie. He said that his grandmother and Stella worked around the Strand area in a small factory that made servicemen’s uniforms.
In the photo Stella Sassienie can be seen centre sitting on the railway track. She.appears to be knitting, maybe completing some unfinished work begun before the bombing raid.
Most of the bombing occurred during late evening, so perhaps Stella Sassienie was working late and got caught up in the bombing.
Doris Sassienie also worked somewhere manufacturing servicemen’s uniforms; perhaps it was the same place? And on a day when Doris was absent ill from a bad bout of flu, the factory was bombed and everyone killed.
