Sheila Gillen 25 Killed On 1940-11-29
Nurse. Daughter of Mr. J. Gillen, of 87 Hoole Road, Hoole. Died at Barrowmore Hall, Great Barrow. On the night of the 28th November a young Irish nurse named Sheila Gillen was settling into her staff quarters after finishing up her shift at Barrowmore Hall Sanatorium on the outskirts of Chester. Barrowmore Hall and estate was built in the 1800s but by the Second World War was now being used as a hospital for ex-servicemen many of whom were receiving treatment for Tuberculosis. Parts of the estate had been given over to the war effort and was being used to build aeroplane parts. Sheila was from County Sligo in the North West of Ireland then known as the Irish Free State a neutral country during WWII and had travelled to England before the War to join her Aunt Kitty to become a Nurse like so many other young Irish woman had done before her. She would be joined later by her sister Joan. Her Aunt Kitty was a Nurse in Southport near Liverpool were Sheila would stay until eventually being transferred along with patients and staff to Barrowmore Hall, Great Barrow, Chester. It is believed that on the night of the 28th November 1940 another young nurse who was sharing a room with Sheila, found it difficult to get to sleep. Believing the bed might be the problem Sheila offered up her bed so her colleague may get a better night’s sleep. Sheila now had the bed closer to the window, tragically this kind gesture towards her work colleague would later prove fatal. According to reports at the time an Air raid had begun in Chester at 7.30pm that evening and continued to about 4.30am Between 2 and 2.30am in the morning of the 29th November two parachute landmines fell on the village near Barrowmore Hall, one landed on a local farm the other landed just in front of the Hospital, blowing up the ground floor and collapsing the front of the building and the window and floor of the side of the bedroom were Sheila was asleep. Sheila’s earlier act of kindness in swapping beds saved the life of her colleague. Soon after the emergency services arrived, the main entrance was so badly damaged they had to enter via the tradesman’s entrance. For three days they cleared the rubble until every last casualty was recovered. In all eighteen patients and two staff were killed including Sheila, she was 25 years old.
