Capt. Alexander Reginald Perkins Intelligence Corps Alex Perkins, my father, among several postings was with O.C. 315th Field Security HQ Bari, Italy from 1943-45. He was on the quay with his CO when the Luftwaffe bombed the harbour on the evening of 2nd of December 1943. Like everyone else in the harbour, he was unaware that one of the ships was carrying mustard gas bombs. It was not officially admitted until 1967, read Disaster At Bari by Glenn B. Infield.
My father never talked about it but once, when he described to me how a bomb hit the quay and vaporized his commanding officer. I bought him a copy of Infield's book but he never spoke of Bari again.
He remained in the Intelligence Corps until 1949 with his last posting to HQ Dusseldorf, Germany.
