Captain George Good continues his talk about the function and activities of the RMT (Reserve Mechanical Transport Company) in Greece with a story about a driver's bravery when his truck, carrying high explosive ammunition, was set on fire when attacked from the air. The driver stopped and put out the fire, and when asked why he didn't run he said he was too scared to.

One thing that nearly broke the drivers heart's was the order given to wreck their vehicles before the men themselves were evacuated.
