Walsall Mayor dies in night of Zeppelin terror

Whilst doing the ironing[1] on Sunday afternoon I watched an episode of the Ian Hislop fronted series ‘Not Forgotten’ on More4 and found out about the zeppelin bombing raid on Walsall. I’ve asked Ruth about it and it turns out she had never heard about it which strikes me as odd, although the event was a relatively minor part of the war I’d have thought informing pupils about the local impact would have been a very good idea. I never knew about zeppelin raids in WWI and I’m now intrigued if any happened anywhere I used to live.

[1] I think I may be ill ;-)
