The Queen Elizabeth
While we were in Canada, Italy surrendered, and there is a photograph of the Italian flag flying below our white ensign, and another thing, right ahead of us, on the same berth, was the Queen Elizabeth, liner, in her wartime colours, because she was trooping American troops to England, you see, and we went aboard her, of course she was stripped clean of all her finery,
because she was trooping.
