> Back in Britain, German battleships shelled the coastal towns of Whitby, Hartlepool and Scarborough, killing 122 and injuring 450 civilian men, women and children.

My grandparents had a piece of one of the shell mounted on the wall in the dining room, and it’s now in mine. Someone made a small hexagonal wooden plaque and mounted a bit of shrapnel in the middle of it.
