London experienced the heaviest raid since Friday with none of the usual lengthy lulls as the raiders winged low across the skies chased by anti-aircraft fire.

WORST RAID OF THE WAR

One town in the west Midlands experienced its most severe raid yet. Wave after wave of bombers have been passing over the town since early this evening dropping all kinds of bombs in nearly all parts of the town.

Incendiary and high explosive bombs were dropped on an- other Midland town. The number of casualties is not known. A large number of hamlets and villages in various parts of England were also hombed.
