BRITISH GUNS
POUNDING BARDIA’S DEFENCES PREPARATIONS FOR FINAL ASSAULT. NAVAL GUNS BEING USED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) LONDON, December 27. British guns are pounding the Italian defences at Bardia in preparation for a final assault. Two 13 inch guns, manned by naval gunners, support the field artillery. A continuous stream of tanks and guns is moving up. An army officer told a correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain that we could go in and take Bardia now, but that would probably cost a good many lives, so we are keeping on hammering at them. When we get more tanks up we will get them out of their holes without much trouble.
