Zeppelin attack 1916

Two bombs hit Pools main stand and after the war the club bombarded the German government with letter demanding £2500 in compensation. They got no reply. It's worth £328,000 now so for the price of a stamp it may be worth a punt.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck it is probably a duck!

My great Granda had uniform button of one of the uniforms of the zeppelin that was shot down…wonder where that is now…the button, not the Zeppelin.
It’s what he does….. he’s a terrier.

if this happened now to some german ground this government would send the club a blank cheque for its rebuilding and not just for one stand. anyway pools missed a good earner when the old stand was still there. they could have charged historians a tour of it with replica zeppelines for sale in the club shop.
