ARTIFACT:
This is a Beautiful Zeppelin L48 Trench Art Sparrow Pin made from Zeppelin Aluminum Dated 17. 6. 17. (June 17th, 1917)
Imperial German Naval Zeppelin L-48 was Shot down after a night Road on London, and this Piece of Aluminum was picked up the next morning, June 16th, 1917.
On the night of 16 June 1917, the L-48 was one of four airships sent to attack London. Captain RHMS Saundby, in his aircraft, noticed the descent beginning and attacked again. His bullets hit the zeppelin this time, the tail of the airship ignited, and the huge airship began to fall to earth, lighting up the sky as it did so. The vast structure crashed into the ground at Holly Tree Farm in Therberton, near Leiston, Suffolk.
In the next day's 17 June 1917, crowds of locals came to view the wrecked zeppelin, and a local photographer arrived to take pictures of the airship. The entire structure was dismantled by the Army and removed for military study. The piece of aluminum frame on display in the Ancient House is one of only two surviving significant parts of the zeppelin now known to exist, the other being in Theberton Church.
