My dad, Norman Buckle, wrote in his diary:
Thursday 20th January 1944
"Spent all day in redecorating the billet in readiness for the coming of the Admiral on Sunday.
Distempered the inside cream and green and really made a good job of it.
Sunday 23rd January 1944
"Great excitement caused by the visit of Rear Admiral Peters who has just taken over the West African Command."
