Air raid on London: casualties and damage |
|||||
| On the morning of 13 June 1917, 14
Gotha aeroplanes attacked London, killing 162 people - the bloodiest German
air raid of the First World War. This report, compiled at 7 pm on the evening
of the attack, provides an early indication of the material and human damage
that it wrought in the capital. It gives provisional casualty figures of
97 killed and a further 439 injured, though a note at the bottom of the
report warns ominously that 'additional particulars may be forthcoming in
the course of the evening'. Catalogue reference: AIR 1/589/16/15/199 Part 1 (13 Jun 1917) Transcript |
