32
Many of those killed at the railway accident which occurred at the
Harrow and Wealdstone Station on the morning of 8th October were
removed to one of the hospitals serving the area. From about 10.30
though, the bodies were admitted to the local mortuary, 16 being accepted
by mid-day. After that until the evening of the 10th, bodies were
admitted at intervals in small numbers, in all, 32 being admitted. The
greatest credit is due to Mr. C. J. Russell, the Mortuary Attendant, for
the way he faced the difficulties confronting him and for the efficient
way he managed.
