OF IRAQ FIRED ON
Story From Bombay
BOMBAY, May 14 (Router), A vivid story of how British women and children were evacuated from Habbaniyah to Basra amidst the crash of bombs, the clatter of machine- gung and the intermittent bursting of shells was told by members of the latest batch to arrive safely here.
Some of the party, which num. bered 100 and was probably the last to leave Habbaniyah, bad miraculous escapes. The planes in which they were being evacuated were subjected to an “unsuccessful baptism of fire" by. Raschild All's, men.
