Mammoth Ordnance Depot For 2nd Front
LONDON, March 7
The “Sunday Express” display’s a reporter’s description of a mammoth ordnance depot "somewhere in Britain", where bedding, cooking utensils, tools and general service stores are piled row after row each 20 feet high, filling one of Britain’s largest warehouses, and overflowing into the warehouse's buildings elsewhere.
When a senior ordnance officer was asked where all this was going, he replied: “That secret is known only to those at the Casablanca Conference and a few at the War Office.
“I don’t know myself. You are the first civilian to sec this tangible evidence of the fighting to be done this year in a war theatre yet to be opened."
