Police Constable Cedric Mitchell was walking his beat near Westminster Abbey in December, 1946 when a German Freedom Front agent drove a truck-bomb into the building and leveled it. Mitchell was knocked to the ground, but not seriously injured by the blast. An American tourist was not so lucky.

Mitchell learned from a priest who arrived on the scene that St. Paul's Cathedral had also been leveled.

Before becoming a police constable, Mitchell had served in World War II.^[1]
