Unit ME 1

Unit ME 1 left New York Grand Central Station on November 6th and sailed from Halifax on 10 November 1941 with the troop-carrier West Point headed for Capetown and Suez; but in December the destination was changed from Suez to Singapore and the Field Service contingent was dropped on December 27 in Bombay.
A month later the HMS Talma took Unit I from India to Egypt and reached Tewfik on 10 February 1942.
Colonel Richmond and Major Benson had disembarked at Capetown, flew to Cairo and waited for the arrival of the Unit on February 15.
