RAIDS ON BURMA.
ONE OF MOST SUCCESSFUL. LONDON, Oct. 7. The Royal Air Force offensive over Burma has been referred to in a message received from the British Broadcasting Company correspondent (Mr Allington Kennard). He says that the recent raid on the railway junction at Mandalay was one of the , most successful yet made on the Japanese in Burma. This area lias recently had seven raids.
The Royal Air Force lias also been paying considerable attention to the oilfields at Yenangya.ung, where large fires have been started. The wells and oil refineries there have been so effectively destroyed that it will be impossible for the Japanese to get any oil from them for many months. The Japanese, however, are trying to get another! oil well into production. Since May the Royal Air Force has been over Burma 53 times.
