A letter from Neville Lyttelton describing a Zeppelin raid over London.

The second paragraph of the letter reads: 'The servants heard the row on the Zeppelin night, bombs and guns…Lizzie says that Brixton and Kennington got rather heavily bombed.'

Over 50 bombing raids were made by airships on England during the war.
