      Night of October 17th/18th (further reports.) Total casualties 
      in London area are estimated at 97 killed and 365 injured. Reports 
      from Birmingham that no serious damage was caused to any of the

      class houses.
 
      Damage at a London Underground Railway Station mentioned in paragraph 
      3 of telegram of October 17th was serious and it is anticipated 
      that clearance will take a considerable time. About 75 persons 
      were killed.
 
      During October 18th visibility was bad over the country owing 
      to low cloud and mist and enemy activity was almost negligible 
      and confined to a Few reconnaissance Flights by single aircraft.
 
      During the night of October 18th/19th activity was on a much 
      reduced scale, probably owing to weather conditions, and was 
      almost entirely confined to the early hours of darkness. About 
      160 enemy aircraft were plotted over the country of which approximately 
      80 operated in the London area and about 20 each in the Liverpool, 
      Manchester, Birmingham and Coventry areas. Damage, believed serious, 
      was caused to the factory of the Gramophone Company. No other 
      damage to factories was reported but in some of them production 
      is delayed owing to water shortage. At Birmingham 4 factories 
      are reported hit; the only serious damage reported was to one 
      coking
