stiletto_33853 Posted 23 August , 2005 Share Posted 23 August , 2005 Does anyone know which A.A. Units were at these locations in May 1915. Reason for asking is details from an action report on the Zeppelin Raid on Southend-on-Sea, Essex made by LZ.38 on the night of May 9th/10th:- After leaving Southend the airship went over Leigh to Canvey Island, where at 3.05 am she came under fire of the A.A. guns at Thames Haven and at Curtis and Harvey's Explosive Works, Cliffe. 3-in guns were mounted at Cliffe, and their fire, the volume of which was probably unexpected, straightaway turned the airship, which was hit, though not vitally. She at once turned and went back over Southend dropping more incendiary bombs there at 3.10 am. Any information from you Artillery buffs would greatly help me piece together this raid some more.
