And on I3 August . . . . the battalion received orders to commence embark- ing. Stimulated with thoughts of WesternMediterranean1ib- erty, the troops completed a mountainous job -- reloading all five ships in a record 36 hours. But their liberty was to again be Eastern Med style. On the afternoon of 14 August, reloading was completed. And on 15 August, the ships steamed slowly away from the city -- one month to the day, of the day the command shrilled over speakers . . . now, land the landing force. . . We were first to land . . . first to leave, and did sowith- out shedding any tears . . . but we left with many memories . . . many experiences . . . a month older, many months wiser . . .

And finally Cleftj, the end of the ride. 1,,.fa.-was .--'ff- ,N - U , mqw :ws,..w,,::ff 1 . .:.,,1,e.Q- Wemm 15.1,-.W ,..f ,,.. , ,-:,,m,sf,,f,, .,.,, ,, .,... 7 y ma.. aww tt.t W- f,,..., ., ,,,t, Y ,..,V,, ,t,,, . .
