Letters, diaries and photographs from World War II

Friday 11th May 1945

We leave Port Said at 8.30am with the promise of a straight run home. Will we make it by my birthday? The news mentions the Burma Star. In the evening we get mixed up with some destroyers who are towing something. We do a complete turn and stop and then proceed. Speed sixteen and a half knots.
