Royal Welch Fusiliers assist in clearing bomb damage in Belfast, Northern Ireland, 7 May 1941.

On 15 April 1941, a major bombing raid killed over 700 people, the biggest loss of life from a single raid, outside London, during the war. Belfast was the most undefended city in the UK and most people did not have shelters they could use. At least 20,000 slept in the open on Cave Hill and in fields outside the city to try and escape the raids. By the end of May 1941, 220,000 people had left Belfast.
