MUCH DAMAGE DONE
IN SALERNO RAILWAY YARDS SAILING SHIP LEFT SINKING. OFF COAST OF GREECE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.0 a.m.) LONDON, August 23. .Medium bombers, escorted by fighters, attacked railway communications at Salerno yesterday, states an Algiers air communique. Many bombs burst on the marshalling yards. Strong enemy fighter opposition was encountered, and 28 enemy planes were shot down. Bombers last night carried out another attack on the marshalling yards at Salerno. Fighters patrolled all day yesterday when they destroyed an enemy plane. A Cairo air communique reports that some of the fires and explosions started by Liberators and Halifaxes in the Cotrone marshalling yards were in the area of a chemical factory. Beaufighters, operating along the south coast of Greece yesterday, bombed a sailing ship, which was left sinking, and fired cannon shells at two other ships. Two of our planes are missing from these and other operations.
