Capt. "Chick" Thackwray got his chance today and led a raid with six Marylands on dumps near GAZALA SOUTH aerodrome.
Once again the squadron struck its best form. Innumerable fires were started and several explosions took place. Although enemy fighters were sighted, no engagement took place, discretion being evidently the better part on this occasion.
Signal received today that all leave cancelled as from 8th instant. "Coming events...." Tonight was gala night when the post truck arrived with the record number of fifty seven sacks of parcels and a goodly lot of letters. My word but the boys were delighted. There is no doubt but that morale bracer No. 1 is the bi-weekly post truck from Cairo,- Sgt. Karlin does a yeoman like bit of work in the quiet efficient way in which he tackles this most important work, a work for which no provision whatever is made on establishment.
