Every Bahamian can take pride in the diligence, wisdom and resilience which made this country unique and beautiful.

The men stayed at The Little Guest House, run by sisters, and apparently so much fun was had that an RAF accountant had to fly to Harbour Island after the war just to negotiate final payments.
