When the landing ship Dieppe left Malta today it had on board 'the 1st Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry in full war kit. A frigate escorted them.
Earlier in the day the cruiser Birmingham had also left Malta at short notice. Both sailings were stated by the naval authorities at Valetta to be part of "precautionary measures.”.
The carriers, the 14,000-ton Canadian Magnificent and the Glory of 18,190 tons, had full air groups aboard.With them went the cruiser Cleopatra and the destroyers Chevron and Chivalrous.
