Bombs were also dropped at a place on the south-east coast of England, but little damage was caused, and no one was seriously injured. Eight persons were killed when six Messerschmitts on Saturday afternoon swooped down on a quiet town in the south-west, and bombed the shopping centre. Shops were reduced to heaps of rubble. Rescue squads are still digging to-night for people trapped in the debris.
