| 5 | APPENDIX ‘Z’: During the fortnight that 'A' & 'B' Sqns spent at FRITTON, every Officer and man wnt through elementary trg is escaping from sinking tks, both with the Davis escape apparatus and the simpler amphibious tank escape apparatus. After both apparatuses had been explained every one practiced walking under water breathing oxygen and after the first strangeness had passed most people found it straightforward. Later on, everyone practiced escaping from the turret of a Valentine and a Sherman which were submerged in warm water. This part of the trg was completed without anyone finally failing to do it. |
