EVIDENCE IN PHOTOGRAPHS. OF
METZ. V ' (ACS. AND N.Z. CABLE ABSN. AND EtCIER.) LONDON, 18th July, j The Press Bureau issues a striking photograph of the damage caused by "the raids of the British independent air force on the German railway system at Metz- - Sablons. It shows exceptionally destructive bursts on engine sheds and workshops, and the remains of two incinerated trains. There is great damage to the network of lines. A significant feature is the almost complete absence of - rolling stock, thus showing that the twenty-one raids since 21st June on this important junction have materially reduced the enemy's war traffic. LONDON, 18th July, 4.20 p.m. An official report of the Air Ministry states : Our aeroplanes on Tuesday night bombed works and an aerodrome at Hagendingen and Burbach. Good results were obtained. On Wednesday they successfully attacked railway sidings at Thionville. [Metz-Sablons is a suburb on the south Hide of the city, and contains an important and complicated railway junction as well as railway works.!
