What was the Slade Green disaster?
A man is searching for the relatives of 13 people who died in an explosion at a munitions factory ahead of a service in south-east London 100 years on.
In February 1924, 12 young women and one man were killed when fire ripped through their hut as they dismantled devices on marshes near Slade Green.
Services have been held before but Mike Smith, whose aunt Amelia was among the dead, said they were stopped and the names of relatives had since been lost.
It will take place on 18 February.
