German Aerial Raid Heightens Fear Across British Coast Towns
An unfiltered report describes two German Zeppelins and planes raining bombs over towns within forty miles of London. Bombs fell near St Mary’s Hospital and in Southwind, Westcliff, and Lolish, damaging several buildings. The raid spurred alarm and influenced political talk as Italy’s response loomed. Election interest rose for the Board of Commerce and Industry, with Mrs. Walter Clough a notable candidate for president and others named for director roles. A key meeting of Democrats from Rowfd is set for tomorrow to discuss by-laws and election logistics.
