CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE Joy of Cranleigh Joy Horn brings some anecdotes of 100 years ago What was happening in Cranleigh in June 1917? The way we were The Gasworks, on the Common near the railway n June 13th 1917, the nation was appalled when 162 people were killed in a German air-raid on London, including 18 children O(most of them under six) at an elementary school in Poplar. It was the resumption of the Ger- man air campaign against the capital, only now they had abandoned Zeppelins and were using large Gotha GIV aeroplanes, which caused greater loss of life. War casualties were no longer confined to contending armies fighting far away from home, but could now be inflicted in the heart of the commu- nity. This may be the occasion to look back on how air attacks had affected Cranleigh up to this point in the Great War. The Zeppelin attacks had begun two-and-a-half years earlier, in January 1915. These huge, slow- Wreaths at Poplar to the schoolchildren killed in the Zeppelin raid moving, almost silent, airships brought devastation In July 1915, the people of Cranleigh were informed and destruction, and flew too high for the British that the hooter at the Gasworks would be sounded anti-aircraft guns available at that point. The pilot if any hostile aircraft were spotted. It was decided Heinrich Mathy was a German ace of fifteen suc- to familiarise people with this by having practice cessful Zeppelin raids on England. soundings on Tuesdays and Fridays at midday. 6 www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE Zeppelin L13 that bombed Guildford in 1915 (David Rose, Guildford: Remembering 1914-18 (2014)) If Cranleigh escaped the attentions of the Zeppe- lins, Guildford was not so fortunate. On Wednesday, October 13th 1915, Heinrich Mathy himself in the Zeppelin L13 dropped twelve bombs on St Cath- erine’s village, Guildford. It seems likely that he was intending to bomb the Hampton waterworks, but missed a bend in the river Thames, and followed the river Wey instead. Considerable damage was done to property in St Catherine’s, but no one was killed – apart from 17 chickens and one swan. War- time reporting restrictions meant that there was no report or even mention of this in the Surrey Adver- tiser or other newspapers. An ‘accidental’ bombing like this could happen in Cranleigh too. Within days, on October 28th, the members of the Baptist church resolved to insure at once ‘against possible damage by hostile aircraft’. The Zeppelins continued to cause death and de- struction across the capital in 1916.
