Drab(dismal) + mob(collection) reversed = bombard

[Lie-in King]

5d Bombard (pound) - 'drab' (dismal) + 'mob' (collection) (all raised)
27a Stem - double meaning

[sandyRoe]

drab mob, reversed. and if a city is bombarded it could be raised to the ground

[bookbinder]

5d bombard looks OK.
Dismal = drab (raised = reversed = drab/bard)
collection = mob (raised = reversed = bom)
bom + bard = bombard = pound (with bombs, shells)
