Zeppelin L3 that bombed Norfolk on 19 January 1915.

There were various Zeppelin raids over neighbouring counties, notably Essex. Much is still not known of these sorties but it is assumed that often the machines were attempting to reach London. The Eastern Daily Press was scathing about the indiscriminate nature of these attacks and had this to say on 28 May:

The second zeppelin raid on Southend was of the usual character; the promiscuous dropping of deadly missiles on a sleeping town of non-combatants, without any pretence at serving a military purpose or achieving anything upon the forwarding of the war. On this occasion the German savages succeeded in killing two women and maiming a little girl; an accomplishment which the poets of the Fatherland will no doubt celebrate in fresh verse as they have already celebrated the Lusitania massacre.
