Zeppelin damage in Yarmouth. During WWI Great Yarmouth suffered the first aerial bombardment in the UK, by Zeppelin L3 on January 19, 1915. Bombing missions, especially those targeting London, captured the German public's imagination, but had little significant material success, although the Zeppelin raids, together with the later bombing raids carried out by aeroplanes, did cause the diversion of men and equipment from the Western Front and fear of the raids had some effect on industrial production.
