lot it has been my lot to see in khaki, but they are of fine physique and ought to make fine troops with a little training under a British disciplinary sergeant-major.
I find that we will be at Quebec in an hour or so, and will try to get this ashore while there. We may have to wait for a while, till they finish raising the new centre span of the great Quebec Bridge which operation, I believe, is expected to be completed this evening . I am anxious to see the bridge as it is the largest of its kind in the world (if the Americans cant find one considerable more wonderful in that country of theirs).
After passing Quebec, we will drop our pilot and, I suppose, pick up our convoy.
We have a six-inch gun in the stern and it looks business-like. I was talking to the gunners
