Notes
"PC Robert Stirrat was on duty on May 5 1941 when he was called to investigate a report of an “unfamiliar object” on the beach close to Fisher Street and Dundas Street.
When the 24-year-old tried to secure it – to stop it drifting back out to sea and into shipping lanes – it detonated.
The blast was said to have been so powerful that it blew out the windows of nearby buildings.
PC Stirrat was taken to Dundee Royal Infirmary but died of his injuries at 3.16pm that afternoon, leaving behind a young widow." - Dundee Courier
