BOGUS CHARGE
MADE BY ITALIANS IN EAST AFRICA.
ALLEGED BRITISH BOMBING OF HOSPITAL.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.6 a.m.) RUGBY, November 7.
A Nairobi communique states: —“Our ground patrols in the Deva area, northeast of Gondar, made contact with the enemy on November 1, burned several houses, and inflicted casualties on the enemy.” On November 3, a Rome communique stated that British aircraft bombed and machine-gunned hospital tents in the Kulkuber area. A statement by Air Headquarters in East Africa declares that no air action is ever intentionally directed"against hospitals that are clearly marked with a Red Cross. It is pointed out that Rome makes these accusations ceaselessly in a vain effort to influence opinion against the British forces in East Africa, and that it is “impossible to answer the numerous claims made by the Italians.”
