Your EXCELLENCY, THE Grand EXALTED Marion,
The place name that I couldn't read in Dad's diary is "La Senia" also called "Es Senia"
or just "senia". It's near Oran. We sure do learn a lot here!! I had no clue what "Assi Ben Okba " was - at first I thought it was some weird military acronym. HA!!
Here's the google earth map for others tracing their routes or those of their loved ones.
Helpful if you are inclined to say: "what or who's a Siddi_Bel-Abbis".
