December 16 - Remember Scarborough!

The German Navy bombards Hartlepool, Scarborough and Whitby. The attacks results in more than 700 casualties, chiefly civilian. You can read more on the Hartlepool raid on the BBC Website.

The attack resulted in public outrage towards the German Navy (for attacking civilians), and against the Royal Navy (for its failure to prevent the raid).

The attack is used as part of a British propaganda campaign, with the slogan 'Remember Scarborough!', being used in recruitment posters.
