Labour Party's annual conference
met in London today. Frank Gillard
arrived back at Algiers from Pantellaria.
He said o.a. that the town of Pantellaria
is absolutely in ruins. The enemy
there were however not without
means of resistance. Not a mine
was found in the harbour and neither
a landmine on the whole of the
island. The guns were loaded but they
had not been fired. There were less than
100 Germans left on the island.
Pantellaria was not completely
waterless many houses higher up had
wells. Dogs however were starving and
food was also very short
