"It nearly broke my heart to hear the cries of the wounded and not be able to get to them. We are nursing sisters-yet we could do nothing to help."

"They had even made cradles for the babies."
Errand Saved Her
J
In the anxious crowd which waited all day behind barriers for news of the rescue work was girl, Rene Turner who owed her safety to an errand.-
With her mother and father, Rene was in the shelter during the early part of the raid. Her father asked her to buy fish and chips.
While she was, away, the con- vent was bombed Rene's father was freed from, the wreckage suf- fering from broken legs. Last night her mother had not been found.
"Tam a lucky girl," was all. Rene could say.
A young second-leutenant was: one of the heroes of the rescue: work. With tons of loosened ma- sonry threatening to collapse on: top of him, he wormed his way through narrow trenches to reach 'the injured;'.
"I was able to do it because I'm so. slim," he said.
The bulk of the damage_in] the night's raid in the Bir- mingham area was to dwelling and shop property, but schools, several churches, a bank, a cinema and a police station were concern- ed in "incidents.”.
Considering the scale of the at- tack, casualties were surprisingly. flow, but some were fatal.
