Five civilians were killed by bombs dropped from a Zeppelin. L.14 passed over Sudbury where she dropped eight high-explosive (HE) and 19 incendiary bombs from east to west across the town. One HE bomb stuck neighbouring houses, 34 and 35 East Street causing extensive damage. It also killed Ellen Wheeler, a 64-year-old widow living at 34 and a married couple at number 35, Thomas and Ellen Ambrose. Outside, John Edward Smith, who lived at number 58, was killed as he crossed the road.
