Wheatley Hill Council School Log Book, 28 November 1916


Children absent following zeppelin raid


Although Wheatley Hill was seven miles from the focus of the night time raid on Hartlepool, people were obviously watching from a distance. The log book of the Council Junior Mixed School records the following:

Tuesday 28 November 1916

About 20 children more than usual were absent this morning. This is no doubt the result of excitement etc. from the air raid last night when a Zeppelin airship was brought down in flames at a quarter to twelve.

Date: 28-Nov-1916

Reference: E/E 94, page 88
