[Sept 24th 1917] There was an air raid on London that night but I was at the Theatre and heard nothing at all, though some bombs must have dropped fairly close.
Sept 25th. Went to inspect the damage done by the bombs it was not much – mostly broken windows in Devonshire House and neighbourhood. Just as I was wanting to go to Euston to catch the 8-45 p.m. Irish Mail there was another air raid and I had some difficulty in getting to the Station where everything was in darkness. The only two nights I have spent in London, there have been air raids.
