...improvement in Egyptian gunnery since the last major exchange in October, casualties on both sides were relatively light. The Israelis put their own losses at five soldiers killed, 26 wounded, two vehicles destroyed, and a Piper Cub downed by a Soviet-made SA-2 missile. The Egyptians admitted to four soldiers killed, 39 wounded and 72 civilian casualties, as well as extensive damage to 14 oil tanks at the Suez and Nasr refineries...

In 1964, a Quebec TV crew filmed it to glorify the hardy Newfoundland swilers; the finished product horrified Canadians instead (although swilers angrily maintain that scenes of seals being skinned alive were staged by the TV men). Another film is being shown around the world by a determined Canadian S.P.C.A. executive named Brian Davies.
