Journal Entry – Sunday April 4th 1916

There have been Air Raids three nights running on the E. Coast. Friday, Saturday & Sunday & one Zeppelin was brought down & wrecked in the sea & the crew taken prisoner all except one poor young officer who was left behind to blow up the Zepp so that is couldn’t fall into our hands.

John has had a notice this morning calling him to join up also W Guest both of whom did not pass the medical last Autumn owing to their chest measurements not being big enough.

Albert Balsdon also had a notice but he has to say when his 19th birthday is, no doubt he will have to go too in a fortnight’s time.
