Dr Kenneth Edwin Tapper
Kenneth Edwin Tapper, O.B.E., M.B., Ch.B.,
Head of A.R.P. Casualty Services, Bromley. Dr. Tapper has on many occasions during enemy air attacks crawled under wreckage to search for and give treatment to injured casualties pinned down by debris. When people were buried beneath the wreckage of a German aeroplane and two houses Dr. Tapper gave medical aid to the victims whilst large unexploded bombs were removed. Dr. Tapper has shown great gallantry in his efforts to relieve suffering amongst air raid victims.
