Injured at Bridwell Police Station,

The pamphlet "Bristol's Civil Defence during World War Two" (ISBN 0 901388 84 X) tells about Derrick Cecil Belfall:

The bravery of Derrick Belfall, a young Messenger who was fatally injured while carrying a message from his post should never be forgotten. This lad, who was only fourteen years old but had given his age as sixteen to join the service, was on his way to the Central Police Station when he passed by a house from which flames were beginning to issue. Thrusting open the front door, he stumbled over a stirrup pump which he picked up and turned on the fire, soon bringing it under control. Relieved presently by the householder, he went on his way, but soon afterwards, hearing cries, rushed into another burning building and brought out from it an injured and badly frightened baby. He again continued on his way, but as he neared his destination he was struck· by a bomb fragment and was found gravely wounded in Nelson Street. Before he died in the Bristol Royal Infirmary he murmured, "Messenger Belfall reporting. I have delivered my message".
