AIR RAID OF SATURDAY. 24, AUGUST 1940.

Next door to the "Better Butt Inn" a house had been split and the house next door to that was simply a heap of ruins. It was here that a fatal casualty had occurred. A bomb had dropped into the roadway opposite the "Better Butt Inn," severing the water main, and water was spurting from the crater like a fountain and pouring down through Camden Square. Many houses in Camden Square were without windows and one house, which had simply a smoking shell.
