ENEMY BOMB OWN LINES
INCIDENT ROUND TOBRUK. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 3. A Middle East communique issued in Cairo says: “At Tobruk the enemy shelled the harbour area, but no damage resulted. Our fighting patrols continue to harass the enemy and inflict casualties. In the frontier area a dust storm restricted activity.” It is reported that enemy aircraft bombed their own lines around Tobruk. In heavy bombing attacks on Monday the enemy aiming was so bad that some of their bombs fell among their own divisions. Damage and casualties to the British garrison were very slight.
