Yesterday to mark the 109th anniversary of the destruction of Zeppelin L.31 over Potters Bar, I visited the display of relics relating to this WW1 terror weapon within the Potters Bar Museum. Worth a visit.

Today marks the 109th anniversary of the destruction of Zeppelin L.31 shot down over Potters Bar by 2/Lt. Wulstan J Tempest.
Due to this loss of Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Mathy (& his crew) the German Naval Air Service had lost one its greatest Zeppelin commanders.

As 2024 draws to a close I wish you all a healthy & prosperous 2025
I visited the Salient in October and paid respects to the 1st & 2nd of the many soldiers that I've researched.
One lies in Duhallow ADS Ypres
The other lies lost in a field (what was Bülow Farm a German strongpoint) near Keerselare
