July 2, 1942

El Firdan

This day was spent by the majority of the squadron in setting up home and by the ever busy M.T. Section in rounding up trucks and vehicles which had strayed or broken down in the convoy yesterday. Night fall found our personnel safely and happily ensconced in their new homes – the presence of permanent buildings has been a considerable advantage in the rapid establishment of messes – and our M.T. section once more in possession of their full complement of vehicles, the recalcitrants having been rounded up by a special"break-down” gang sent from the station shortly after arrival.‍
