Who was killed when a Zeppelin bombed Jarrow Palmer Shipyard in 1915
History:
On Tuesday 15th June 1915 Zeppelin LZ40 (L10) commanded by Kapitänleutnant Hirsch crossed the coast north of Blyth and headed directly for Wallsend where bombs were dropped on the Marine Engineering Works causing severe damage.
7 Heavy Explosive and 5 Incendiary Bombs then fell on Palmer's Works at Jarrow where 16 men died and 72 were injured.
North of the river again, bombs fell at Willington where they damaged Cookson's Antimony Works and Pochin's Chemical Works and several houses; a policeman died at Willington Quay. The L10 then headed for the sea dropping bombs on Haxton Colliery and South Shields on the way.
It flew over Palmer’s Shipyard about 11.40pm and dropped its bombs and killed 17 persons and injured 72.
There was a plaque at one time in the Palmer Shipyard (which is now Rohm and Haas) with 12 names on.
But what became of it?
News of the bombing must have been highly censored at the time having just a few lines in the Shields Gazette on Thursday 17th June 1915.
It just stated 16 killed which included a policeman and 40 injured when a Zeppelin bombed Jarrow .
On Friday 18th in the Shields Gazette there was another small column regarding the inquest which noted the following 14 had been killed in the yard:
Albert Bramley 54
Matthew Carter 66
Carl Karling 24
Joseph Lane 67
Robert Thomas Nixon 32
Frederick Pinnock 29
Lawrence Frazer Sanderson 16
Thomas Henry Smith 23
Ralph Snaith
William Stamford
Joseph Bechworth Thornycroft 31
William Grieves Turner 20
