I was recently reading "The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916", and found the following passage in the description of events on the eve of the battle (20 Feb 1916):
"Night fell. At Revigny, thirty miles behind Verdun, the vigilant crew of a 75 fired at, and brought down in flames a Zeppelin setting out to raid communications; an unprecedented feat."
Quite unprecedented, I'm sure - and it also must have been a hell of a shot!
