The crew of a small British naval vessel spent three days in a Dalmatian port recently

The crew of a small British naval vessel spent three days in a Dalmatian port recently, with some of the partisans fighting the Germans.
They were compelled to enter the port because of circumstances beyond their control.
They visited the partisan Headquarters, a barely furnished room lit by candles with a picture of Stalin on the whitewashed walls.Questions were asked and answered on both sides.
These guerrillas carried an their heroic fight in the tortuous highways and byways of the lower slopes of the Dinaric Alps.
Once a furtive underground affair in the hands of unorganised bands, the forces of resistance have now developed into a disciplined army.
Today, the partisans are in control of the greater pert of the Dalmatian coast apart from the large
towns.
Picture shows a partisan occupied village visited by the British naval men.
In centre is the Commander of the partisan guard charged with police duties in the village.
On his right is a soldier who acted as interpreter to the party.
