My friend Mike was looking through some of his family's early photographs, when he came across this one taken by his grandfather, Samuel Smith.
It was taken while he was on leave on October 13th 1915, during an air raid over Camberwell, London.

Cool, thanks for shareing.
Great primary source photo. looking at that makes you realize how hard it must have been for Archie to ascertain the height and distance of a Zeppelin at night.

Very cool! I'm amazed that this clear of a photo was taken - as you say, Rob, a great primary source.
All the best,

A fantastic image Fox!! His stories must be great!
Obviously Samuel Smith is no longer with us; in fact there are no longer any British soldiers left who served in the First War.Originally Posted by Barkmann
