We were able to go to Constantine each day. We had three days' rest which counted as leave. The Priests all went to the Ordnance Depot to be water proofed so it looks as though an invasion was waiting for us. We then moved to El Kroub, which was 15 kilometres from Constantine.
Here we were able to exchange our clothing for new ones at a mobile laundry. We then moved on via Gambett and Hamma Plaisance. We carried on to Mjez El Bab and stayed the night near Tebourba. We then loaded on to transporters and moved through Tunis, and we passed 70th Field Reg. We had a lecture by Brigadier Fowler, who was commander of the 1st Armoured Division and then the Medical Officer gave us a lecture all about malaria.
