ENEMY BASE TOWNS BOMBED
STRONG R.A.F. ATTACK ON BONN
Another of the enemy’s advanced bases, the town of Bonn, on the left bank of the Rhine and 40 miles from Aachen, was attacked yesterday morning by Lancasters of R.A.F. Bomber Command, escorted by Mustangs and Spitfires of Air Defence of Great Britain.
Bonn is believed to have been full of troops at the time of the attack. It is not only an important link on the railway line to Duren and Euskirchen, but also lies on a main lateral line of communication running from north to south, close behind the front.

Bonn, German advanced base on the Rhine, 40 miles from Aachen, was bombed yesterday by Lancasters. It was believed to be full of troops. One bomber and one fighter were lost.
