RAID ON LONDON
OVER 400 NAZI PLANES EMPLOYED DESTRUCTION OF LORD STAMP’S HOUSE. VICTIMS INCLUDE MEMBERS OF DOMESTIC STAFF. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, April 18. The “Daily Telegraph” says that between 450 and 500 German planes participated in Wednesday night’s raid on London. This was at least twice as many as any previous raid. Four members of Lord Stamp’s domestic stall were also killed in the raid. All were in a concrete shelter, which was directly hit by a high explosive bomb. Nothing remained of the house but a heap of rubble and broken woodwork; not a brick is left standing and there is not even a stick of recognisable furniture in the wreckage.

Admiral Evans, Regional Commissioner for the London area,/ said: “You in London saw last night the hellish frightfulness of hundreds of thousands of incendiary bombs raining from the air. We are fighting with the gloves off now, and it is a fight to a finish.”
