October 20, 1943

Cassana, Italy

Early next morning the journey across to the East Coast commenced. This was another steep climb through the beautiful mountainous country; by mid-day the mountains had been negotiated and the convoy ran smoothly across flat country until a blown up bridge was encountered. Everyone in the party set to and within four hours, a strong and serviceable bridge had been built and the convoy were again on its way. The night halt was made at CASSANA, where a further supply of petrol caught up with the convoy.
