the last cargo…

1 Jan 1943

405 Man, Man— It's been a hot 'un this war ... but we're gettin' through. I've been days without my boots off— I've been days in an open boat. And l've said a prayer— more than once. Aye—it's been hot. These infernal U-boats — huh — and the bombers— I shall hear 'em to my dying day. But they couldn't stop us. A few ships of the Merchant Navy— they may go down, but the men, they go on always—and they always go back till the job's finished. Jerry's done his darn' dest but he can't stop us. We shall go on—till we deliver the last Cargo of Victory at the port of Peace.
