  • Wilf Davies was a resident of Fakenham. He'd lost his left hand at the Battle of the Somme during World War I. He'd known Daisy Baxter her whole life, and frequented her establishment, the Owl and Unicorn. A few months after nearby Norwich was destroyed by a Soviet atomic bomb, Davies began receiving scavenged auto parts from the wreckage through third parties. He let it slip to Daisy Baxter in May, 1951 when he asked if she knew how long metal stayed radioactive. She advised he get a Geiger counter. This article is a stub because the work is part of a larger, as-of-yet incomplete series.
