Damage And Confusion Over A Wide Area

London, To-day.

THE AIR MINISTRY announce that tanks, armour- ed vehicles and troop concentrations forming the vanguard of the enemy's advance towards the French Channel ports were again heavily bombed by strong forces of Blenheim aircraft. For more than six hours until the gathering dusk made recognition of troop movements impossi- ble, relays of aircraft kept up an almost continu- ous assault with bombs and machine-guns, caus- ing damage and confusion over a wide area.

Among the first targets successfully

attacked in the afternoon was a

column of lorries and armoured fight- ing vehicles caught on the move.

Direct hits were scored on the lorries by six Blenheims attacking Individually, and bombs were seen

Individual Attacks

Another force of Blenheims deliver- ed individual attacks on a number of targets, and later arrivals found lorries and cars hit by the earlier bombing attacks blazing by the roadside.

A small fire occurred in the Kwan Sau Girls Middle School at No. 20, Hollywood Road at 1 a.m. to-day. Two fire engines were sent from the Cen- tral Fire station and with the co- in operation of some of the tenants the building extinguished the out- break in less than half an hour.
