August 13, 1943

Gela, Sicily

Although this was Friday the 13th, the day on which the superstitious people hardly leave their homes, for fear of any mishap, no evil befell the Squadron. The senior N.C.O.’s even went so far as to arrange a sight-seeing tour, which turned out to be a very good and interesting trip.
Lieut. Thompson, who was admitted to hospital while the Squadron was still in Africa, arrived by Boston.
