Description
Mr. Beall describes how the Suez Canal would be covered each night with netting. Holes in the netting would then reveal where German mines had been dropped overnight.
Transcription
Every night, they would wheel great big nets across the canal from one end to the other they had these huge drums and they would run them across the canal and in the morning they would go and see where there were holes in the netting where bombs had been dropped or mines and then they would fish them out of the canal before they could do any harm. That’s how they kept the canal clear of mines.
