About 9:00 AM the boat took off and we arrived in N. Ireland about noon. We took a train from where we landed. Here we were given K-rations by the army. At 1:00 PM we took off and close to 2:30 we arrived at Cookstown. Here we were boarded on GI trucks and brought to camp - 11 miles distant. Saw a lot of my old buddies here - Meistrich, Evans, Barry Brook, Perry, etc.
