Pray convey to all those in your department who have contributed to the success of “Torch” my warm congratulations and thanks for the part they played in the preparation and movement of this great armada. It owed much to their skill, industry, and reticence, and they share in the honour of a great achievement.

Never good when you scuttle a fleet.

So.. good news from the Russian front. Looks like good news in Tunisia- but we have to wait and see. Bad news in France.

Seeing the big headline though, that didn’t raise morale.
