Rear party
Instructions were received from the Embarkation Officer that “B” party, had to embark during the afternoon. “B” party vehicles were formed up and left for La Goulette, the port of Embarkation at 1700 Hrs. About an hour after arrival at the port, loading of vehicles was started. This was carried on, until 0100 Hrs., when loading of any more vehicles of this Squadron was stopped, as priority was given to a T.B.F Unit, by the Embarkation Officer in spite of the fact that all vehicles were marked “Priority”. The result was that some of the Squadron Vehicles had to be loaded on to another barge, as there was no room left on the barge.
