Caption: Bombardment of Lowestoft, April 25, 1916, London Road

I wonder if Ernie was the same Ernest in k0129?. Probably not, but it would be nice to think so.

This card was written 3 weeks after the Bombardment. Can you imagine the tension in Lowestoft, especially amongst those who had relatives in the military?
