[wulsten]

Researching a group of soldiers from the 7th east Kent Regiment who were killed whilst in camp near poperinge at st Jan ter biezen 29th September 1917 after a German aeroplane dropped 4 bombs on the camp.

Was this a common occurrence or were there any records relating to german airforce units conducting the raids or who ??

Or where camp was situated 

Any help appreciated
