ENEMY AIR RAID ON BRITAIN MATERIAL DAMAGE NOT SERIOUS. PARTICULARS OF CASUALTIES. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) RUGBY, June 20. The latest reports received by the Ministry of Home Security on last night’s enemy air raids on Britain confirm earlier information that the material damage was not serious. As far as is at present ascertainable, the casualties are eight killed or dead from injuries and about 60 injured. One of those killed in last night's German air raid on Britain, a British Official Wireless message states, was an air raid warden who was patrolling a road, advising people to take cover. He was the first member of the A.R.P. services to lose his life through enemy action.
