Transcription
Been about two, two drafts really, but it was first it was a hun... they picked a hundred to go and then two days before we left they picked, they took the other fifty. So there was a hundred and fifty. A hundred on the Missinobi and fifty on the Grampian. Went in out of Halifax. By the way we landed in there just about a week after the Halifax Explosion. It was horrific being through this, just out of this world. It was just a strip I don’t know how wide, the whole woods of the city and it seemed to take everything, every tree and just nothing but stumps left in that area, in that strip through the, through the city.
