Show EXAMPLE GIVEN OF GOOD TEAM WORK British Gunners and Airmen Co-operate in Destroying Big Kun Ammunition Ammuni-tion Train. By Universal Service. LONDON. Dec. 2. An example of the wonderfully skilfull' co-operat ion that exists between the gunners and the R. A. l', and the broad scope of our airmen's air-men's work, is furnished by the following: follow-ing: A British machine had just completed directing a successful shot on a hostile position when another German battery was. observed in action. Several British Brit-ish batteries were called .up by the observer ob-server and their fire was directed upon the German guns. At this moment, the observer noticed a train some distance behind the German lines, instantly an emergency call was sent down and all available guns were switched onto this new target. In spite of the long range and the difficuity of hitting a moving target, a direct hit was obtained, and the train evidently carrying car-rying ammunition blew up. The British Brit-ish machine then resumed direction of fire upon tine German battery, which was successfully silenced. |
