January 18th 1917

There were some strange occurrences from time to time - whether this event was connected to the First World War the log book doesn't say.

At 1.35 today a bullet passed through the centre window on the north side and crossed the hall passing through the screen - 24 ft width of room - on other side then striking the wall on the south side of the corridor about 12 inches above a small window. The police sergeant was at once informed and the ocurrence reported to the secretary at Dorchester.
