“HEAVIEST YET"
(British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 12.30 p.m.) RUGBY, Oct. 14. ! Last night’s raid on Kiel was the heaviest yet, says the Air Ministry. For an hour the defences were battered until searchlights were wavering in every direction and the gunfire became ineffective. The smoke screen, which is regularly put up whenever our bombers approach Kiel provided little protection. The crews found Kiel, in the words of one pilot, “ lighted, up like daylight ’ by huge fires and a multitude of flares. The fires were so bright that only the bursts of the biggest bombs could be distinguished among them. BRITISH CIVILIAN CASUALTIES (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 10.45 a.m.) ~RUGBY, Oct. 14. ‘ The civilian casualties duo to air raids . in Britain in September were killed, or missing, believed killed, 207 ; injured or detained in hospital, 238.
