On arriving in Argatala (Bengal) I was sent to an AMES School which turned out to be an amphibious tank with radar, very hush, hush!

I had never driven a tank before but I got about two hours tuition. I then got sent to medical school for half a day, and to cookery school for half a day.

I finished up driver, operator and medic and was send to a unit and was send to a unit of one sergeant, two corporals and nine men. I was one of the corporals.
