L48 'The Theberton Zeppelin' - A Great War 'Souvenir' Walking Cane the alloy grip cast from aluminium from the ill-fated airship, inscribed 'L48 Brought Down at Theberton 1917' mounted on a wooden shaft, with brass ferrule, 76cm long. On the night of 16th June 1917, the L48 was one of four airships sent to attack London. After dropping bombs on Harwich, the airship tried to return home by heading east. However its compass had frozen at the high altitude and, unknown to its crew, it drifted north in the dark along the Suffolk coast. The airship was caught in searchlights and antiaircraft guns opened up, although the Zeppelin was too high to be harmed by these. Several aircraft took off to attack the airship, but although firing at the Zeppelin, the planes could not gain the altitude to inflict any damage. In an effort to escape British airspace before dawn, the Zeppelin captain gave orders to descend to reach more favourable winds. Captain RHMS Saundby in his aircraft, noticed the descent beginning, and attacked again. His bullets hit the Zeppelin this time and 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. Three of the German crew managed to jump out of their gondola as it hit the ground and then watched in horror as the flames consumed the entire Zeppelin as well as sixteen fellow crew members, the burnt wreck of the airship was visited by thousands for weeks afterwards and many fragments were distributed, both officially and unofficially.
