This was the major incident in Halifax during World War II.

My dad & his mate were just coming past, returning from night school, when they heard the bomb dropping. There was a fire engine nearby - local volunteers - & likely old solders from ww1. They shouted to him to get down & they dived under the engine. After the bang, dad & Sam ( his mate) both ran for home in case there were any more bombs.
