Considering the amount of discussion--not to say, in some quarters,
apprehension--to which the Zeppelins have given rise, singularly little
has been heard of them so far during the war, and, apart from the Antwerp
exploits, they have done practically no damage. On the other hand, several
have been destroyed: the number has been variously estimated from two to
six. One, said to be the "LZ10," was brought down in October at
Grandvilliers, ten miles from Belfort. Our photographs show: (1) debris of
the shattered framework; and (2) wreckage of the cars. Another Zeppelin
was destroyed in October by the fire of Russian batteries near Warsaw, and
its broken remains were taken to Petrograd to be examined. The British
air-raid on Düsseldorf also accounted for one or possibly two.

The ground occupied by the British troops on the banks of the Aisne

both from rain and 'Jack Johnsons' for several weeks to ----, a certain
Highland regiment. The cave consisted of three long passages capable of
holding a whole battalion. It had two entrances, one of which is shown in
the sketch. It was dark and dirty, but with plenty of straw on the ground
