After VE Day

We were assigned to take a Scotch regiment onboard to Norway with Prince Olaf and we, we sailed in, the Atlantic...after...the poor guys, it was rough and they weren't very well, on the deck right at the field and we went into Oslo. Now, I was saying, Navy never, never see crowds of people relieved like in Holland or anywhere else, but this time we were right there. We went right into Oslo, the piper on the bridge, the skirling, and the men lined up and we were there. We could stand outside on the deck, and we saw the excitement of a city relieved after the war, after a terrible time. And girls that fraternized, shaven heads.
