I was a little surprised to read these reports from 1917 – I
thought that such bad news would have been censored. The death toll rose from
the 69 mentioned in the 3rd cutting to 73. It has become known as
the Silvertown Explosion because it happened in that part of East London, which
is now part of Newham.
The chief Chemist Dr Angel was posthumously awarded the
Edward Medal (equivalent to the later George Cross).
