DIEPPE AGAIN ATTACKED
(British Official Wireless.)
RUG'BY, August 22.
The Air Ministry states:—“ Spitfires made low-level attacks on objectives in occupied France and Belgium. Gun posts, factories, airfields, and German troops were among the targets attacked. Four of our fighters are missing.
“ Spitfires to-day went back to Dieppe to attack heavy gun positions. Very few men were seen and some positions did not appear to be manned. West of /Dieppe the only opposition came from a light flak post which the fighters silenced.”
