      entered the inner London zone. The majority of enemy aircraft 
      were fighters. A feature of yesterday's attacks was low level 
      bombing and machine gunning by single machines particularly during 
      the dusk period. Although some interruption was caused on the 
      roads and railways no military damage was reported but a suspected 
      delayed action bomb fell in a factory at Woolwich and outside 
      London bombs fell in close proximity to 2 factories engaged on 
      war work without causing damage. Promiscuous bombing of seaside 
      towns with damage to property was also reported.

      chief enemy objective although minor bombing was reported From 
      other parts of the country and mine-laying was suspected off 
      the east coast. Most enemy activity took place before midnight. 
      From the London area no damage of a military nature is reported 
      nor any important damage to docks, communications or industrial 
      premises although I factory manufacturing wireless telegraphic 
      material was hit and a 20 pump fire was started in Holborn. Damage 
      was also caused to the Royal Courts of Justice.
