There were some beautiful shaded parks. For beer drinkers there Was Joe7s Joint by the Continental Hotel and Al7s Place around the corner and up the street. There was the American Bar with its friendly barmaids, and the Maison du Colon with its good ice cream. There Was the long shopping district along the Rue d7ArzeW where souvenir hunters often picked up good things. And permeating all Was the rich, varied sound of Oran's streets: the cries of Arab peddlers and beggars and shoe-shine boys, the jumbled accents of French and Arabs and British and Americans, the hee-haw braying of donkeys, the pound and boom and rattle of War vehicles along the boulevards, and the monotone song of occasional planes overhead. Oran was no longer a French city, it Was an Allied city. At every sunset there was a reaifirma- tion of this When the flags of three nations were drawn slowly down their staffs, and men and Women of many nations stood at attention listening to the Marseillaise, to God Save the King, and to The Star Spangled Banner. 1.

And aside from its immediate strategic value, its metropolitan resources and adjacent swimming beaches afforded relaxation and diversion for Army and Navy forces who Were marking time in the city and recharging their vitalities for the next strike.
