Journal Entry –Monday December 28th 1914

Paper to day is an account of the raids that our sea planes made on Cox Haven , on Christmas morning, of all days in the year in which to drop bombs, it is too terrible. At Meuport too a special attack was made. A very long casualty list to day in which Reginald saw the name of a man he knew at Oxford, called Walters. See [something] Gloucestershire Reg.

Also among the wounded & missing is Luke Coleridge, at least we think it must be he. LHR, sounds like his initials. In the times of Sat. is an account from an American paper of the building of an army of Zeppelins, which hold 30 officers & men & carry numbers of bombs. These are to be used for an invasion of London at the beginning of the year.

Arthur laughs at it & says it is impossible for them to do any damage. Let us hope he is right.

This afternoon there was a rehearsal in the School of the play. It was a terribly wet & cold afternoon we went up & down in the car.
