Lieutenant Commander Yeandle said that the
guardsmen forced to go to in 75-ft. boats,
pitched and tossed by the waves making sleep difficult
and the serving of hot meals almost impossible. Night
after night they keep their vgis, stung by chilling
winds and spray, suffering untold discomforts and hard

Then, upon return to shore for n brief rest they
greeted with insults and epithets such 'booze
