On 3 September 1916, 13 zeppelin airships attacked targets in south-east England. One of the airships was shot down near London by Lieutenant Leefe Robinson, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery. Here is a newspaper story reporting on the award of the VC to Leefe Robinson, and also a photo of the ‘hero of the hour’. Aberdeen Journal – Friday 08 September 1916 Image © D.C.Thomson & Co. Ltd.
