First civilian air raid deaths in UK - 19/1/1915

[Guest Pete Wood]

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Zeppelin raid on Kings Lynn in which Britain suffered its first civilian air raid casualties.

Remembering all those who lost their lives in the 'Terror From The Sky' campaign of two wars.

Hi Pete,

Well noticed.

That reminds me, I bought 'Death From The Skies' by R.J. Wyatt a few months ago. It is all about the attack from the Zeppelins on this date but I still haven't got round to reading it.

Matt.

I thought you might like to see this photo of the air raids taken from 'Pageant of the Century' printed in the 1930s?
