BOMBS ON ENGLAND
CASUALTIES AND DAMAGE (Received June 15, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 14 Raiders showered incendiaries on an east coast town, which a German communique says was Grimsby, and burned out many houses, also a cottage hospital. A number of people were killed by high explosives. With the moon approaching its peak the Luftwaffe sent more raiders than usual over Britain last night. Whitsuntide holidaymakers in one town on the east coast of England had to leave their beds and parade the streets scantily clad when raiders attacked the area. A large number of anti-personnel bombs, which failed to explode immediately, necessitated the closing of several streets. Raiders also attacked two other places on the east coast, where the casualties included a number of people killed. One of several raiders which crossed the south-east coast flew inland as far as Greater London. Bombs were dropped at one point, but there were no casualties and little damage.
