Fight to Stop Widening of Flood Rampart Breach
London reports military and civilian efforts halted the widening of a flood breach on the Ely to King's Lynn road. One thousand troops, civilians, and German prisoners worked through the night to drive piles and seal the gap, saving nearly 10 000 acres of Fen farmland. The plan to block the breach with Neptune tanks was abandoned as river levels equalized. The Trent Valley floods reach ten feet in places with tides swelling the river into a wide torrent.
