Picture No 10794722
Date 1914
Description Map of the East Coast Bombardments, WW1
Details

A map of the North East coast of Britain, showing Hartlepool, Whitby and Scarborough, the scene of shelling by German battle cruisers in December 1914. Annotations give information on the length of the bombardments, where was hit and how many deaths and fatalities were caused by an action which caused the death of 110 people, the majority of whom were civilians (including women and children). The event was seen as a ruthlessly barbaric act and spurred many more to join up.
