has again suffered severely from a R.A.S. raid (the third this
month), thirteen of our machines flew over the town and
station on June 11, dropping over 2,000 lbs of explosives.
Excellent practice was made, no less than twelve direct hits
being made on camps and animals in the neighbourhood of the
station and village, which were also hit. The hangars, which
were damaged in the last raids, were again hit.
hive days later twenty-six machines participated in an
early morning raid on Kutrani which was most successful,
u >0^0 lbs. of exposives were dropped, and the station
building's, as well as a troop train, were set on fire. The camps
round the station were not spared, receiving 6,450 rounds from
machine guns in addition to several bombs.
A Projected attack on Jurf did not take place, owina; to
