F. • "The abundance of food in Canada is still hard to believe and . every- thhig seems quite different and 'strange,” was the statement of Fit: Lt. Edmund Daly, upon his : return home to Seaforth after - spending three years doing special radio work. overseas. ' • Fit. Lieut. Daly is the eldest sob of Reeve and Mrs. P. F. Daly of Seaforth. He arrived home on Sat- urday. After joining the R.C.A,F. in No- vember, 1940, Fit Lt. Daly was com- missioned and went directly over- seas in January, 1041. For the first year he journeyed through England, Scotland and the Hebrides before being transferred to the Middle East. While in England hewas presented to the Queen and had tea with her and the two princesses. "I found the Queen very gracious and lovely, with a sparkling personality," was his comment on Her Majesty. In 1942 he spent three months on a world cruise, visiting Durban, South Africa, and Bombay, India, be- fore joining a mobile unit of the RA. F. on the western desert, Flt. Lt. Daly stated that during the time he was overseas he worked in conjunc- tion with the R.A.F. His first experience in actual war- fare was in the retirement of the British 8th Army from Tobruk to I'll Alemein. On this movement he was subjected to several close calls. Later he participated in the advance of General Montgomery from El Alemein to Tunis, "The most impres- sive event I saw was the might of the offensive at E1 Alamein before the new push began," he declared. Upon reaching Tunisia his organ- ization moved on to a landing' field which had been occupied by the Ger- midis six hours before the arrival of the British. Here Flt. Lt, Daly re- lated a story of obtaining sports equipment, including a football, for the men. A football game was soon organized and after playing for one half hour an advance patty of mine- cletectov crews went over the foot- lienfield. "The game," be said, "broke up in short order." After he left Tunis his work took himto North Africa until Septem- ber, 1943, when he was hospitalized for three months before rWurning to England and eventually to Canada in 1914. When asked about Egyptian vides, he said he hod not visited teeny, lint those he did see he found very dirty and the natives exception- ally noisy and troublesome. He re- marked that the food was very- simple end themeals became quite menet- over, Tee two desserts the tnen'had were rice pudding, which they called 'Elva la Rea d," end dried apricots, the latter he , found to be really dried. However, despite the monot- ony, the men remained quite healthy. F'rc h fruits, vegetables, meat and milk were almost unknown and he mentioned that he was now exper- iencing his rusts'.' in everything. 'Flt. lt. Lt. Daly reported that the British troops, in Africa:led a monot- onous life with little entertainment, yet their morale was high, "The sol - E. La BOX PHONE 43 Northside United Church Rev.
