[StartQuote] I did not fly the Union Jack while in port because we had none. It may have gone home with a previous crew member. The flag was flown day and night when we were underway, either from the mast or at the stern. I believe that it was usually at the mast. When we were in port the flag was flown during daylight only. At Dreger the flag was flown at the stern because the mast was usually lowered to tie up under trees. I do not remember what we did at Hollandia, Wadke and Mios Woendi where the mast did not have to be lowered. At Melville the flag was retired each evening. A current item regarding the flag; for all old hands who may have missed the change, we can now give a hand salute while in civilian clothes.[EndQuote]
