20 MAY 1916, Page 1
In our trenches there has been a certain amount of
liveliness, but no decisive action on either side. On the Belgian coast British destroyers and monitors were engaged with German destroyers on Tuesday afternoon. After a short fight the enemy were put to flight and withdrew to their ports. In this connexion we may mention that a small British monitor, the 'M.30,' has been lost in the Mediterranean. She was struck by Turkish guns on the night of May 13th-14th, took fire, and was destroyed. Happily, only two men were killed and two wounded.
