RATINGS:
The Beach parties and boats' crews performed arduous services under fire and under trying physical conditions.
The efficiency of the A/A guns' crews prevented the ship being damaged in the numerous air attacks.
The conduct of the whole ship's company was excellent throughout, and the good spirit with which all concerned accepted the filling of all the living spaces with troops, with consequent litter, not to say dirt, was cemarkable. Everyone did his best at all
