This i s dated June/July 1943.Discover from th i s that there are 6 craf t made up of 5 leA s and 1 LCS slung over side.The LCS i s on the port side forward. This would be on the A or bridge deck and on thepromenade deck th e r e are two c ~ a f t both LCA's, slung over side a f t . Then on the boatdeck there are 6 cra f t LeA's slung over side.

Then next - Item 10 in the appendix, outl ine for Exercise Rocket1 and 2. Also WEE Rocket and sryMI5 Exercises. - This i s a 2 CIB t ra in ing sheet ~ Odated 8 June 43. Information i s of the A)/teshire Coast. Represents par t of Germanoccupied French Coast. Note several important features. A. a i r f i e ld on top ofplateau 400, r ing contour in 8555/ Symington airfieald. B. strong enemy loca l i tyrunning down to the water s edge. C. Areas shaded on t race are low swampy groundpassable to infantry on foot but not l ike ly sui table for vehicles . This would seemto be identifiable with the Bekino situation. Assault under method - the assault wasto be made with two Bns up on the r igh t , PPCLI on Sugar green, on the l e f t Seaforthon Sugar amber and in reserve the Edmonton Regiment to land on e i the r Sugar amber org r e e ~?r both ~ s o:dered . Aopendix includes also a long background his tor ical summaryon SlClly . Thl mlght be valuable as introductory to narrat ive o Si c i l i an camoa on.Conclusion i from the fo r egoing i t wil l have been seen that the popUlatio n of Sic i lyas a whole ~ s opposed to ~ t t y i ni n t e r ~ s t shas not been proso erous under I ta l ian ru le .After a oerl0d of negle ct oy7tKe fa sc i s t regim e endeavoured to ameliorate the l o t oft ~ e people and were apparently succeedin g to some extent although promises and expecta-t10ns exceeded a ctual a cc omplishments but the foreign policy of Mussolinni had l argelyundone the work of years . I t seems clear that there i s opposition to the regime and toGermany and that there is a seoarate movement favourable to t h i s country. On thestrength of t h i s movement i t i s of course di ff i cu l t to judge but there would a ppear tobe l i t t l e doubt that conditions are such that promise good resu l ts from i t s encouragementa t the appropriate moment. Then t h i s i s followed again by a second ser ies of sheets _Headed.

Population i r regular lydistributed. About one th ird of the to ta l l ives on the northern/eastern coasts . Onlyl / lo th of the popUlation l ives scat tered in the country.
