We serviced many ships off Pulo Bukum going alongside larger vessels and having smaller ones come to us.At this time the French were about to be evicted from Indochina and we fuelled many large troopships full of North African soldiers from the French colonies going north to Saigon. "Goldmouth"was in poor condition,and was used as a dormatory for officers waiting to join ships or go on leave.
