1 Operation Grapple 1957 A coral island (over 100 miles circumference) discovered by Lt. J. Cook (Third Voyage) on Christmas Eve 1777 : Christmas Island, lat. 1 degree 55 minutes N., long. 202 degrees 40 minutes E, a low, barren, uninhabited island, with anchorage on the west side. It abounds with turtle, but has no fresh water.... Here follows a selection from numerous photos, a cache of 28 FER b&w photos taken between 1956 and 57 before the H bombs. Page 223
2 Two months before The Bomb. On a welcome leave at Oahu, Fort De Russey, Honolulu (via aircraft carrier H.M.S. Warrior) March 1957 with 64 Field Park Sqn Stores Troop. We could only afford one beer each in the night club; poor in contrast with wealth of some U.S. marines we met on their way out to Tokyo.... That s me second right. After 13 months on the atoll, I left on an LCM with 71 Transport & Plant Troop of 28 Field Engineer Regiment. We left Christmas Island on Sunday August 25th 1957 on the T.S.Empire Clyde arriving at Liverpool docks Sunday September 29th I was into my third year with the sappers. (Unknown to all of us squaddies, on the 8th November a 1.8 Megaton massive H bomb would be exploded just to the south of Port London in clear view from the beach of Christmas Island bigger bombs to follow.)

Off duty sport.at port Camp, cricket hockey football... natives played with bare feet, very thick skin soles. Coral sand beaten hard for pitches. A flock of hundreds of birds in early 1957 most are frigates about SPAL point. Later. After one to-be later nuclear explosion, considerable birdlife were scooped up, killed by the blast of a megaton plus burst fallout, and ground stripped bare. The above seen greenery was prickly grass toxic to any cattle or sheep. I poisoned a pricked foot on one occasion, foolishly going barefoot through the grass no thick skin as our Gilbertese native friends, Young Frigate Bird kept as a pet by a local villager.. Page 241

H Megaton experiments (airbursts or other) were new business. And naturally could not, at least initially, anticipate short or long-term H bomb genetic effects on human beings. Page 243
22 From our local produced and distributed newspaper dated 15th May 1957 an excellent anonymous first hand report of the first (of three) Grapple Bomb experiment over Malden Island 400 miles south of Christmas Island.... I later wondered if there was much contamination about Malden as a consequence of The Tests. Of course I (we) would never know. anyways? Page 244
