Rear party
Everybody got busy putting up the various section tents and their living tents and soon the moveable war village showed signs of life again.
The Commanding Officer, Lt. Col. Coppen arrived by air, just before noon, to be cleared from the Squadron, as he was on his way to the Union – officially called R.T.U. It was a great day, for Lieut. Locker, our Transport Officer, as the O.C. brought the Authority for his R.T.U. He was cleared and proceeded with the O.C. to MALTA, from where he was flown to CASTEL BENITO.
