Framed Print of Tatler front cover, William Leefe Robinson, V. C. WW1
Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson, a member of the RFC No. 39 Home Defence Squadron, shot down a German airship on 2nd September 1916 above Hertfordshire. The British public had feared that German airships were impregnable and Leefe Robinsons feat earned him his Victoria Cross shortly afterwards. He met a premature death shortly after the Armistice when he succumbed to the Spanish flu epidemic in December 1918. The Tatler comments that, Like all really good men, he is extremely modest about his achievement, and his remark, I strafed teh blighter all right, is typical both of the man and of the fine service to which he belongs. Date: 1916. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans
