powerful mines which the Germans
had placed under Cambria seem to
have been set with a time fuse, the
idea being to complete the distruc-

great number of the allied soldiers
as was possible.
The explosion went off with roar
under the centre of the town after
it had been occupied by the British,
The crash and defamation were seen
and heard for miles.
Great damage, the exact extent of
which has not yet been determined
was done.
