On Tuesday 15th June 1915 Zeppelin LZ40 (L10) commandeered by Kapitan Leutnant Hisch crossed the coast north of Blyth and headed directly for Wallsend where bombs were dropped on the Marine Engineering Works causing severe damage.
7 Heavy Explosive and 5 Incendiary Bombs then fell on Palmer's Works at Jarrow where 17 men died and 72 were injured.
North of the river again, bombs fell at Willington where they damaged Cookson's Antimony Works and Pochin's Chemical Works and several houses; a policeman died at Willington Quay. The L10 then headed for the sea dropping bombs on Haxton Colliery and South Shields on the way.
It flew over Palmer's Shipyard about 11.40pm and dropped it bombs, and killed supposedly 17 persons and injured 72.
There was a Memorial with 12 names on at one time in the Stirling Foundry in Jarrow, which was once part of the Palmer Shipyard.
Today the Memorial is thought to be in what was the Berengaria shed in what is now the Dowe Chemical Works who now occupy the former shipyard.
But what became of it?
The bombing must have been highly censured at the time having just a few lines in the Shields Gazette on Thursday 17th June 1915.
It just stated 16 killed which included a policeman and 40 injured when a Zeppelin bombed Jarrow.
On Friday 18th June in the Shields Gazette there was another small column regarding the inquest which noted the following 14 had been killed in the yard:

Albert Bramley 54
Matthew Carter 55
Karl Johan W. Kalnin 22
Joseph Lane 67 (Marine Engineer)
Robert Thomas Nixon 32
Frederick Pinnock 31
Lawrence Frazer Sanderson 16
Thomas Henry Smith 23
Ralph Snaith 48
William Stamford 40
Joseph Beckwith Thornicroft 31
William Grieves Turner 20
John George Windle 27
William Ernest Cook Young 16

It added that Ann Isabella Laughlin 62 living near to the yard, died from shock.

It also stated there was an inquest for a policeman (no name given) who was killed over in Willington Quay.

These two died later from there wounds
John Cuthbert Davison 31 (Fitter and Turner)
George Ward 18 (Apprentice Fitter and Turner)

The Zeppelin LZ40 (L10) was destroyed by lightning off Neuwerk Island in Germany on 3rd September 1915.
