Clydebank Blitz The Clydebank Blitz refers to two devastating Luftwaffe air raids on the shipbuilding town of Clydebank in Scotland which took place in March 1941 . The air raids . As a result of the raids on the nights of 13 and 14 March 1941 , the town was largely destroyed and it suffered the worst destruction and civilian loss of life in all of Scotland . 528 people died , 617 people were seriously injured , and hundreds more were injured by blast debris . Out of approximately 12 , 000 houses , only seven remained undamaged — with 4 , 000 completely destroyed and 4 , 500 severely damaged . Over 35 , 000 people were made homeless . Clydebank ' s production of ships and munitions for the Allies made it a target ( similar to the Barrow Blitz ) . Major targets included the John Brown & Company shipyard , ROF Dalmuir and the Singer Corporation factory . A total of 439 bomber s dropped over 1 , 000 bombs . RAF fighters managed to shoot down two aircraft during the raid , but none were brought down by anti - aircraft fire . In his book " Luftwaffe over Scotland : a history of German air attacks on Scotland , 1939 - 45 " , amateur historian Les Taylor qualified the Clydebank Blitz as " the most cataclysmic event " in war - time Scotland . He claims that while the raid on 13 March was not intended as a terror attack , it caused extensive damage because there was a lot of housing near the specific targets . But the bombing the following night was indeed a terror attack as it " was intended to crack morale and force the people to call for an end to the war . However , it had quite the opposite effect , strengthening resolve for the war in Scotland . " Effectiveness of the raids . Despite the devastation in the town itself , the Clydebank air raids were far from a military success . Among the primary targets were the John Brown Shipyard and Beardmore ' s Diesel Works , neither of which was seriously damaged . The only plant completely destroyed was the Strathclyde Hosiery Company . War memorials . A war memorial is dedicated to the crew of a Polish destroyer , , which helped defend the town from the docks of the John Brown & Company shipyard . It is located directly opposite from the Town Hall , which has itself a shrine dedicated to those in Clydebank who died during World War I and World War II . There is another war memorial on Graham Avenue . A recording made in May 1941 by bombed - out civilian Tom Wright features on " The Blitz " , an archive audiobook CD issued in 2007 .
Column ( formation ) A military column is a formation of soldiers marching together in one or more file s in which the file is significantly longer than the width of ranks in the formation . The column formation allowed the unit rapid movement , a very effective charge ( due to weight of numbers ) or it could quickly form square to resist cavalry attacks , but by its nature only a fraction of its muskets would be able to open fire . The previously prevalent formation , the line , offered a substantially larger musket frontage allowing for greater shooting capability but required extensive training to allow the unit to move over ground as one while retaining the line . It is also applied by modern armies to vehicles , troops and naval vessels . Napoleonic Wars . During the early stages of the French Revolutionary Wars , battalion s in French armies often attacked in column formation in an attempt to drive through enemy lines by sheer weight of numbers . Against enemy units already weakened by the fire from skirmishers or artillery , this was often successful . Later , during the Napoleonic Wars , French units would approach in column formation and deploy into line when close to the enemy . However , against the British they frequently failed to deploy into line before being engaged . During the Peninsular War , after the Battle of Sabugal ( 3 April 1811 ) , the Duke of Wellington wrote , " our loss is much less than one would have supposed possible , scarcely 200 men . . . really these attacks against our lines with columns of men are contemptible . " These failings were still evident at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 , prompting Wellington to comment , " They came on in the same old way and we defeated them in the same old way . " The military historian James R . Arnold argues that all armies of the period used column formations at times on the battlefield ; the military historian Sir Charles Oman is credited with developing the theory that the French practically always attacked in heavy columns , and it is only now that this alleged error , propagated by other British and American authors , is being repudiated . Column of companies . During the Peninsular War , British riflemen of Craufurd ' s Light Division marching to engage the enemy but uncertain of the presence of enemy cavalrymen in the area could adopt a formation called " column of companies . " Each company would form into two ranks of about thirty files and march close to the company in front . If attacked by cavalry , they could easily bunch up , forming a schiltron of bayonet s that would be proof against unsupported cavalry . Korean War . The column formation was extensively used by Chinese infantry during the Korean War . When attacking , the Chinese would form their assault units into deep columns of platoon s or squad s , and drove such formations into weak points of enemy defenses . The rationale for such tactic was that repeated assaults conducted by squad or platoon sized skirmish parties would eventually penetrate enemy lines through sheer attrition . This utilization of column formation also give birth to the term human wave attack .

The fight had lasted for one hour and forty - five minutes . " Minerva " was recommissioned as Minerve , and her command was given to Pierre Bouvet . Duperré , hindered by the damage sustained by " Bellone " , the reduction and dispersion of his crew over his prizes , and the 500 prisoners he had aboard , decided to return to Ile de France , where he arrived on 2 January 1810 , accompanied by " Manche " which they had met en route .
