Sergeant sleeps in a cubical in corner of our hut. He woke us after quiet night at 6.15am . We spent
the morning strengthening the camp defences by placing additional barbed-wire
around the perimeter.
"February 1947 Myself on the veranda rail of one of the barrack huts in Shafa Amr Depot . Haifa Port is on the slopes of the Hill in the background rising from the plain." |
Three search
lights have also arrived. Very hot
today, too hot for work really. In the
afternoon we continued defence precautions.
Three of our chaps who were ex-service were granted a Tomson M.C
each. [I think Dad means Thompson Machine Gun - the ' Tommy Gun'] Ken Landsdowne arrived in the
Taggart for 2 days.
Bob M told me the Jews used flame throwers in the army camp they
attacked last night, and that an officer and B.C. [British Constable] were
killed in the armoured car.
I sent a letter home today.
