Mrs Constance Dora Newell appears to have been killed when a V2 rocket hit the Woolworths store in London. The following information is from
http://www.flyingbombsandrockets.com/V2_maintextb.html
25th November 1944
Contemporary reports from a number of witnesses indicate that the V2 had been seen in its last moments of flight, a line drawn across the grey November sky.The store bulged outwards and then imploded and in the carnage 168 people were killed and 121 were seriously injured. It was the 251'st Rocket to be successfully launched. This was the worst tragedy in the entire V weapon campaign and one of the worst civilian disasters of World War II.As the store exploded there was blinding flash of light and an enormous roar followed by a dense cloud of smoke and powdered dust. Witnesses several hundred yards away felt the warm blast on their faces,some were physically pushed backward by its force. The Co-Op Store next door also collapsed killing more people inside. The bodies of passers by were flung for great distances, and an army lorry was overturned and destroyed killing its occupants. A double decker bus was spun round causing yet more deaths and injuries,its occupants were seen still sitting in their seats covered in dust..There were piles of masonry and pieces of bodies all around, where Woolworth's had been was just an enormous gap.The debris stretched from the Town Hall to New Cross Gate station and it was to take 3 days to clear this and to retrieve all the bodies from the debris.Today the site has been totally re-developed but the extent of the damage area can be seen from where the new buildings commence both in the New Cross Road and in surrounding streets. Lewisham council have erected a blue plaque on the building to commemorate the tragedy.)

Richard Adare ROCHFORT D.S.O. MC
Died 23rd July 1954 Aged 73
He was born in Surrey in 1879. His medal cards records that he was a Sergeant in the Grenadier Guards then a Captain in the Royal Inniskiling Fusiliers.
His Distinguished Service Order was awarded for conspicuous gallantry, devotion to duty and initiative during operations near Poelcappelle.
On the night of the 11/12th October 1917 when the Battalion was moving up the line to it's forming up position ready for the attack on the following morning, it was heavily engaged by the enemy with shells and gas. He perceiving that there was danger of the Batalion losing it's way owing to the necessity of having to wear gas masks and the intense darkness of the night, he placed himself at the head of the leading party and guided it along the correct route. It is certain but for this prompt action the Battalion would not have reached its forming up place in time.
During the operations on the morning of the 12th, owing to the heavy and difficult condition of the ground and the hevy shell, machine gun and rifle fire, the Battalion experienced gret difficulty in pushing forward, he immediately went forward to ascertain the situation and encouraged the men by his example.
Although severely wounded while leading the men he remained with them for nearly two hours encouraging them in their work until through sheer exhaustion he was forced to desist. This Officer by his cheerful and inspiring personality and by the exceptional bravery of his conduct set a magnificent example to all ranks.
He was so badly wounded that his arm had to be amputated on his arrival at the dressing station.
This record comes from the Australian War Memorial page from Australia. Have no idea why it's on there.
The Index of Wills and Administrations states that Richard was living at Wedge Farm Itchingfield Horsham Sussex. He died at the Royal Victoria Hospital Netley and probate was given to Amy Ross Robinson.
