of bombs upon three coast towns,
South End, Westcliffe and Thunders-
ley, grouped on the north bank of the
mouth of the Thames, 40 miles from
London, during the early hours of the
morning of May 10, killing one woman,
setting fire to a number Of buildings
and causing considerable damage by
explosions.
Soon after the raid British airmen
were assembled, ready for flight, and
special constables and coast guards
were maintaining extra vigilance in
anticipation of a repetition Of the raid.
More than 100 bombs, mostly incen-
diary, were dropped on South End, the
popular bathing resort. Eight build
ings were fired and the population,
asleep at the time-it was 2:40 am.
when the first bomb was dropped-was
thrown into a state of great excite
| ment. Two explosive bombs burst
in the streets, shattering windows all
about and tearing great holes in the
pavement. A timber yard was de-
| stroyed and several residences were
| damaged by fires. A boarding house
was burned and only the walls remain
| standing. The explosive bombs were
| apparently aimed at the parade
grounds and the gas works, but nei-
Their struck their mark. Fire bombs
fell near the South End pier, the cor.
poration electric works and a railroad
freight yard.
One %projectile that failed to explode
fell on the beach a short distance from
. prison ship on which 1920 Germans
were interned.
No casualties are reported from
